Our prediction for this Championship match:
Sunderland will look to recover from a 2-0 loss to Plymouth when they welcome Huddersfield Town to their Stadium of Light. The Black Cats are eyeing their third consecutive win at home and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented strategy against Huddersfield. All Dennis Cirkin, Daniel Ballard, Timothee Pembele, Jay Matete, Aji Alese, and Corry Evans should miss out with injuries for the home team.
The Terriers, on the other hand, are eager to put an end to their five-game winless run, but given their poor away record in the 2023/2024 Championship campaign, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. In their last meeting at the venue the two teams shared the spoils, but home win should be considered this time out. The visitors will be without Kyle Hudlin, Ben Wiles, Josh Ruffels, Lee Nicholls, Kian Harratt, Jack Rudoni, Patrick Jones, Daniel Ward, and Oliver Turton should miss out 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.
