Our prediction for this Championship match:
Saturday’s football game at John Smith’s Stadium pits together Huddersfield Town and Plymouth, the two bottom-table teams. The Terriers are eager to escape the danger zone, but keep in mind that they are on a three-game losing run in all competitions ahead of the visit of Plymouth. January signing Bojan Radulovic is widely expected to start after making his Huddersfield debut in the FA Cup loss (0-5) to Man City, while Charles Ondo is on international duty.
The Pilgrims, on the other hand, have yet to record a win on the road this term, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. Plymouth head coach Ian Foster has a luxury to field the best possible side against the Terriers. It has to be noted that both teams managed to find the net in each of their last four meetings in all competitions.
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.
