Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Shrewsbury Town will try to recover from a 1-0 loss to Leyton Orient when they take on Huddersfield Town in the League One round 26. The Shrews are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but they need to find their best form as soon as possible if they are to meet the goal. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Huddersfield Town.
The Terriers, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Wycombe and they managed to get one, with the team retaining their automatic promotion chances. Huddersfield are four points behind top two in the League One table, meaning that Saturday’s clash is of big importance for them. In their last meeting in the League One, Huddersfield defeated Shrewsbury 1-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself as the visitors are more of a team than the hosts. As Brodie Spencer limped off with injury in the last league match, Radinio Balker should be recalled to Huddersfield’s starting eleven.
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.
