Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Coventry
Kirklees Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Huddersfield Town and Coventry City, the two top-table sides. The Terriers are five points behind the playoffs berth, but their current form is anything but good. Following back-to-back defeats to QPR and Middlesbrough, Huddersfield shared the spoils with Barnsley at the weekend, and, no doubt, they are eager to get back on course in the Championship.
All Jonathan Hogg, Aaron Rowe, Alex Vallejo, and Pipa are sidelined with injuries for the home team. The Sky Blues, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to WBA in their last league match. Coventry City are only one point behind top six, and seeing that they will go for a win in Saturday’s clash as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. The likes of Gustavo Hamer, Martyn Waghorn, and Jake Clarke-Salter are injured for the visiting team.
