Huddersfield Town Preview – Will the Terriers cement their place in the top six?
Huddersfield Town have had a remarkable season under Carlos Corberan. The Terriers narrowly avoided relegation last term, but they have fired their way into the promotion picture after a string of excellent results in the second half of this campaign.
Huddersfield recently went four league and cup games without a win, but the West Yorkshire club have bounced back in style after the international break. In April, Town have picked up wins over Hull City, Luton Town and Middlesbrough.
Huddersfield are in third position right now, eight points above seventh-place Millwall. They will want to make sure of a play-off spot sooner rather than later, and three points on Friday will do the business.
Barnsley Preview – Tykes’ relegation to be confirmed?
Barnsley made the play-offs against the odds under Valerien Ismael last season. However, after Ismael opted to leave for West Bromwich Albion last summer, the Tykes have gone backwards. Only a miracle will save them now.
Last weekend’s home defeat to fellow strugglers Peterborough United summed up their season. The loss, which was their 24th of a miserable Championship campaign, saw the Tykes fall to the bottom of the table. Poya Asbaghi’s boys are now 11 points away from 21st-placed Reading with just 12 to play for.
