Prediction: 1-0
Huddersfield
St. Andrew’s Stadium will host Wednesday’s football game between Coventry City and Huddersfield Town. The Sky Blues made a slow start to the season, but their recent displays are giving fans a reason for optimism. Coventry City did well to beat Wycombe on the road in their last league match, with experienced midfielder Liam Kelly scoring a brace. Fellow midfielder Jordan Shipley suffered an injury at the weekend, and he is unlikely to feature against Huddersfield.
The Terriers, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-0 loss to Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium, and given their poor away record in the Championship, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. The likes of Elphick and Stearman remain in the recovery room for the visitors. The likes of Shofield, Diarra, and Mbenza are all pushing for a start.
