Prediction: 1-0
Huddersfield
Reading play host to Huddersfield Town at their Select Car Leasing Stadium in the Championship round 28. The Royals are on a three-game losing run ahead of Saturday’s clash, with the team conceding 11 goals in total in the previous three league fixtures. Both Abdul-Rahman Baba and Andy Yiadom are on Africa Cup of Nations, and seeing that Scott Dann, Felipe Araruna, Tom McIntyre, and Yakou Meite miss out with injuries, home win should not be considered.
The Terriers, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Swansea. Considering that Huddersfield recorded three wins in the previous four away games, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Carlos Corberan’s troops. Midfielder Alex Vallejo remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away side.
Highlighted Player (Junior Hoilett):
Junior Hoilett began his youth career at Blackburn Rovers and he spent five years at Ewood Park. After ending his loan spells with German sides Paderborn and St. Pauli Junior Hoilett returned to Blackburn Rovers and it has to be noted that he scored his first goal for the Riversiders in a pre-season friendly against Leigh Genesis.
Speaking of competitive games, the Canada international netted his first goal for Blackburn in a 3-1 League Cup victory over Gillingham. In 2012 the pacey winger joined Queens Park Rangers and he played for the capital club from 2012 to 2016. In October 2016 Junior Hoilett signed a deal with Cardiff City and he made his debut for the Championship side on October 14 against Bristol City.
Hoilett was born in Brampton, Ontario and, as a result, he represents Canada on the international stage. He made his Canada debut in a 1-1 draw with Ghana in an international friendly.
Highlighted Team (Huddersfield):
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.
Bradford City are considered Huddersfield’s local rivals as well, but there are small rivalries with Barnsley, Halifax Town, Manchester City and Oldham Athletic. The club’s chairman is Dean Hoyle.
