Huddersfield host Stockport County in a stand-out Boxing Day clash in League One.
Victory could see Huddersfield climb to third if Wrexham loses elsewhere, whilst Stockport can move above the fourth-placed Terriers if win by two-goal margin or higher.

Stat Attack
- Huddersfield are unbeaten in their last seven league meetings against Stockport (W4, D3).
- Stockport are winless in their last five league trips to Huddersfield (D3, L2).
- Both teams have scored in three of their last four league clashes at Huddersfield.
- Five of Huddersfield’s last six goals have been scored by Brodie Spencer (2) and Callum Marshall (3).
- Stockport have conceded twice in each of their last two away games (L2).
Prediction
Currently on a 11-match unbeaten league run, Huddersfield certainly can join the promotion scrap if they continue in this form after a ruthless mauling of Cambridge but they will need to play their top game if want a result here.
Stockport though haven’t really produced much consistency on the road but do have enough quality to pull off a win, but they must be more clinical than they were in their win over Peterborough.
If the visitors do turn up and cut out their defensive away sloppiness then they might get something, but Huddersfield should prove just too strong here.
Prediction: Huddersfield 2-1 Stockport County
Result: Huddersfield 1-0 Stockport County
