Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Huddersfield will be desperate to put an end to their four-game losing run in the Championship when they take on Barnsley in the League One round 10. The Terriers suffered a dip in form, but Saturday’s game could be the turning point for Michael Duff’s troops. Jonathan Hogg is pushing for a start as Duff is expected to shuffle his pack, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Tykes, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Wycombe. Barnsley aim to climb to the playoffs berth and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we are tempted to bet on both teams to score. In their last meeting at John Smith’s Stadium Huddersfield defeated Barnsley 2-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. The visitors are still without striker Mas Watters, who remains in the recovery room.
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.
