Our prediction for this Championship match:
Huddersfield and Luton Town take on each other in the closing match of round 41 at John Smith’s Stadium. The Terrors moved one step closer to the Championship playoffs thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Hull City, but they can’t afford any complacency in the season finale. All Ryan Schofield, Rolando Aarons, and Alex Vallejo continue to miss out through injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Hatters are eyeing a spot in the playoffs as well. Luton Town are only one point behind Huddersfield in the Championship standings, and given their fine form, punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on draw. The likes of Alex Palmer, Reece Burke, Gabriel Osho, and Jed Steer are likely to miss the game with injuries, while veteran forward Cameron Jerome is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a midweek draw with Peterborough.

Daniel Ward is a goalkeeper who was born on 22 June, 1993 in Wrexham, Wales. The 191-cm-tall shoot-stopper is a product of Wrexham Academy, but he did not make his senior debut for the club.
