Our prediction for this Championship match:
Kirklees Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Huddersfield Town and Swansea City, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the remainder of the season. The Terriers are desperate to secure the Championship survival, while Swansea City are eyeing automatic promotion to the Premier League. Huddersfield Town are on an eight-game winless run in the league ahead of the visit of Swansea, meaning that home win should not be considered.
Isaac Mbenza, who suffered an injury in the 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough, is unlikely to feature against Swansea City, as well as Elphick, Koroma, and Schindler. The Swans, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest. The Swans are on a three-game winning run in the Championship, and they should take advantage of Huddersfield’s form in February. Both Cullen and Routledge remain in the recovery room for the visitors.
