Huddersfield Town Preview – Can the Terriers get back on track with a home win?
Carlos Corberan’s Huddersfield Town are in 11th place in the Championship right now. The Terriers have won eight, lost eight and drawn five of their opening 21 games. They have a zero goal difference after scoring 24 and conceding 24.
Town have flirted with the play-off places at times this season, but no wins in three has seen them slip down to 11th. After back-to-back defeats to Queens Park Rangers and Middlesbrough, Huddersfield drew 1-1 at lowly Barnsley last time out. The Yorkshire side have picked up just one win in their last five.
Huddersfield will be hoping to get back on track with a much-needed victory at the John Smith’s Stadium on Saturday. The bookies are offering 13/8 for a Town victory.
Coventry City Preview – Can the Sky Blues seal a first win in five?
Mark Robins’ Coventry City were tipped by many for a season of struggle, but the Sky Blues have proved their doubters wrong so far. Coventry are seventh now but have spent most of the season in the Championship’s top six.
Coventry could do with a victory, though, after failing to win in four. They beat Bristol City 3-2 at home back in early November but have drawn three and lost one of their following fixtures. Last time out, Robins’ side lost 2-1 at home to West Bromwich Albion.

Huddersfield Town vs Coventry City Betting Advice
Both matches between the pair in last season’s Championship ended in draws. They played out a goalless draw at St Andrew’s in December 2020, and they drew 1-1 at the John Smith’s Stadium in May.
Those were the first league meetings between the two clubs since the 1971-72 season. Town have not beaten the Sky Blues since March ’71.
Key Facts – Huddersfield Town vs Coventry City Betting Tip
- Both meetings last season ended in draws
- These two are separated by just four points
- Coventry slipped out of the top six last weekend
Both teams have had fine seasons but have hit a sticky patch of form of late. With that in mind, a draw would not be a bad result for either side. There is good value in the draw and both teams to score at 7/2.
Viktor Gyokeres started the season like a house on fire, netting nine Championship goals by 2nd October, though the Swede has failed to score since. Nevertheless, odds of 6/1 for Gyokeres to open the scoring in this one are too good to turn down.
