Huddersfield Town Preview – Can the Terriers keep up fine form?
Carlos Corberan’s Huddersfield Town have made a good start to their season. Tipped by many to struggle before a ball was kicked, the Terriers hover just outside of the play-off places with 17 points to their name.
After 11 fixtures played, Huddersfield have picked up five wins, suffered four defeats and drawn two times. The West Yorkshire outfit have been in patchy form, though they have seen off Preston North End, Reading and Blackburn Rovers on home soil this term.
Since back-to-back losses to Nottingham Forest and Swansea City in late September, Town have struck back by taking four points from their last two, beating Blackburn and drawing at Luton Town. Can they keep their fine form going with maximum points from this one?
Hull City Preview – Can the Tigers make it back-to-back wins?
Grant McCann’s Hull City romped their way to the EFL League One title last term. However, they have had a tough time on their Championship return, taking just nine points from a possible 33.
Before the break, Hull picked up a massive three points against Middlesbrough at the MKM Stadium. An own goal nine minutes from time and a last-gasp effort from Mallik Wilks gave the Tigers a 2-0 home triumph. That was the club’s first victory in any competition since winning 4-1 at Preston on the opening weekend of the Championship season.
