Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Mansfield Town will try to put an end to their four-game losing run in the League One when they take on Huddersfield Town on Matchday 19. The Yellows experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Bolton, but it has to be noted that midfielder Hiram Boateng was sent off midway through the second half. As a result, the 28-year-old misses out through suspension, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Terriers, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the English third tier. Huddersfield look unstoppable at the moment and given Mansfield’s poor form in the League One, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. Michael Duff is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Wigan Athletic in midweek.
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.
