Prediction: 2-1
Huddersfield
Blackpool and Huddersfield Town face each other in a highly-anticipated Championship game at Bloomfield Road on Tuesday evening. The Seasiders desperately needed a win against Fulham at the weekend, and they managed to get one thanks to Josh Bowler’s goal. The triumph gave Blackpool footballers a confidence boost, but they can’t afford any complacency in the midweek clash. Both CJ Hamilton and Grant Ward are rated doubtful for the match, while Gary Madine and Matty Virtue remain in the recovery room.
The Terriers, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth win of the season, but given their display in a 2-1 loss to Stoke City, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the home side. Both Pipa and Jordan Rhodes are sidelined with injuries, while Daniel Ward will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

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.
