Our prediction for this Championship match:
After rolling over Coventry City 5-0, Luton Town will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Huddersfield on Matchday 11. The Hatters impressed in the midweek triumph, with the team putting an end to their six-game winless run. A man to watch in the home team will be Elijah Adebayo, who scored four goals in total in the previous three league fixtures, while all Hylton, Muskwe, Onyedinma, and Potts are rated doubtful for the match.
The Terriers, on the other hand, will be without Pipa, Rhodes, Rowe, and Schofield in Saturday’s clash. Since Huddersfield Town are not regarded as good travelers, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Luton are undefeated in the previous four meetings with Huddersfield, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
