Our prediction for this Championship match:
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Luton Town, Queens Park Rangers will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they host Huddersfield Town to their Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium. The Hoops are eyeing their sixth home win of the season, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. All Sam McCallum, Andre Gray, and Jordy de Wijs should miss out with injuries. The Terriers, on the other hand, did well to beat WBA at home thanks to Danel Sinani’s goal.
Huddersfield have remained in the playoffs race, but given their anything but good away record, we are tempted to put our money on Queens Park Rangers. You should know that the Terriers are on a five-game winless run on the road. All Pipa, Alex Vallejo, Duane Holmes, Jonathan Hogg, Aaron Rowe, Tom Lees, and Jordan Rhodes are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Tom Carroll):
Tom Carroll is a professional English footballer who plays for Swansea City as a midfielder. The 177-cm tall is a product of Tottenham football academy and it has to be noted that he made 27 appearances for Spurs at senior level, scoring one goal. He found the net in a 3-0 win over Norwich City in the 2015/2016 season.
After ending his loan spells with the likes of Leyton Orient, Derby County and Queens Park Rangers, Tom Carroll signed a permanent deal with the Swans in the winter of 2017. Tom Carroll has 17 caps for England U21 team, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior team.
His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as both left and right midfielder as well. Tom Carroll’s preferred foot is left and his contract with the Welsh outfit should expire on June 30, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Huddersfield):
Back in 1926 Huddersfield Town became the first English club to win three straight domestic trophies. Since 1908 the Terriers were playing at Leeds Road, but in 1994 John Smith’s Stadium became home of Huddersfield Town. The club play in the English second tier (Championship) and the colour of the their home kit is blue and white (stripes).
Huddersfield Town were founded in 1910 and just three years later they entered the Football League. In 1926 the Terriers won their last domestic trophy, but they did well finishing runners up in the FA Cup 1920. The club’s biggest rivals are Leeds United and it has to be noted that Huddersfield Town have better head-to-head record of the two teams.
Bradford City are considered Huddersfield’s local rivals as well, but there are small rivalries with Barnsley, Halifax Town, Manchester City and Oldham Athletic. The club’s chairman is Dean Hoyle.
