Huddersfield Town Preview – Can the Terriers cause an upset on their own patch?
New Huddersfield Town boss Carlos Corberan has made a steady start at the John Smith’s Stadium. After 19 Championship games, the Terriers sit 14th with 25 points to their name. Town are nine points clear of the drop zone and just seven away from the top six. Overall, they have won seven, lost eight and drawn four.
Huddersfield will be glad to be back home after a tough week on the road. After a 5-0 loss at Bournemouth, Corberan’s men battled to a 0-0 draw with Coventry City at St Andrew’s Trillion Trophy Stadium in midweek.
Huddersfield have been excellent at the John Smith’s in the last few weeks, sealing successive home wins over the likes of Middlesbrough, Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday. Can the Terriers cause an upset this weekend and make it four home wins on the spin?
Watford Preview – Hornets to stretch unbeaten run with three points?
Watford have hit back with seven points from three games after a somewhat shock home defeat to Cardiff City a fortnight ago. Before a 1-1 draw with Brentford on Tuesday, the Hornets had beaten Rotherham United and Birmingham City.
Watford have barely put a foot wrong on home turf, while the Hertfordshire club have lost just one of their past seven on the road. In their last away fixture, a late Troy Deeney penalty gave the Hornets a 1-0 win at St Andrew’s Trillion Trophy Stadium.
