Huddersfield Town Preview – Can the Terriers make it five wins from six?
Huddersfield Town made a slow start to their season, taking just one point from their opening two. However, they have been one of the form teams of the division since, winning four of their last five.
After three wins on the spin, Huddersfield were beaten at Stoke City after the international break. However, they returned to winning ways in style last time out. Second-half goals from Josh Koroma, Matthew Pearson and Jonathan Hogg gave them a 3-0 victory over Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.
Carlos Corberan’s Huddersfield are sitting pretty in sixth spot with 13 points to their name. They have been one of the surprise packages so far, and the West Yorkshire outfit will be looking for another three points on Saturday.
Nottingham Forest Preview – Another defeat for the struggling Reds?
Nottingham Forest have made an abysmal start to their season, taking just one point from a possible 21. The Reds are bottom of the table, already four points from safety. Along the way, they have scored five and shipped 12.
Wednesday’s 2-0 home loss to Middlesbrough proved to be the final straw for Chris Hughton, who was sacked after six defeats from seven Championship games. The Reds have also been beaten by Coventry City, Bournemouth, Blackburn Rovers and Stoke this season.

Hughton is an experienced manager at this level, guiding both Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion to promotion to the Premier League. However, for one reason or another, things did not work out for him at the City Ground. The 62-year-old has left Forest in a precarious position in the Championship table.
Huddersfield have a good recent record over Forest, and we fancy Corberan’s men to take all three points from this home fixture. The hosts are priced at 21/20 to get the win. Town took six points from the two league meetings last term, keeping clean sheets in both. Check out the solid price of 12/5 for the Terriers to win to nil this Saturday.
