Our prediction for this Championship match:
After suffering back-to-back defeats to Brentford and Derby County in the previous two league fixtures, Middlesbrough will be looking to return to winning ways in the Championship when they take on Huddersfield Town on Tuesday evening. The Boro aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Terriers on Matchday 30. Both Marcus Tavernier and Marcus Browne are sidelined with injuries, while Dael Fry will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Huddersfield Town, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Wycombe, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. In the previous meeting between the two clubs at Riverside Stadium Middlesbrough defeated Huddersfield thanks to Djed Spence’s goal. Harry Toffolo is banned for the visitors, while Rolando Aarons, Carel Eiting, Josh Koroma, Tommy Elphick, and Rarmani Edmonds-Green are all out of contention with injuries.

Back in 1926 Huddersfield Town became the first English club to win three straight domestic trophies. Since 1908 the Terriers were playing at Leeds Road, but in 1994 John Smith’s Stadium became home of Huddersfield Town. The club play in the English second tier (Championship) and the colour of the their home kit is blue and white (stripes).
Huddersfield Town were founded in 1910 and just three years later they entered the Football League. In 1926 the Terriers won their last domestic trophy, but they did well finishing runners up in the FA Cup 1920. The club’s biggest rivals are Leeds United and it has to be noted that Huddersfield Town have better head-to-head record of the two teams.
