Reading Preview – Can the Royals secure a much-needed positive result?
Veljko Paunovic’s Reading are enduring a tough season. The club have had points deducted and have picked up just eight wins from 26 Championship games. Reading find themselves down in 21st position with 22 points to their name.
The Royals have been in abysmal form of late, winning just one of the previous nine in the league. Since winning 3-2 at Swansea City in late November, Reading have drawn two and lost four of six. Over the past couple of weeks, the Berkshire outfit have lost 7-0 to Fulham, 2-1 at Middlesbrough, and 2-0 at home to Luton Town.
Reading will be desperate to avoid a third successive Championship reverse on Saturday. Paunovic’s troops are the underdogs on their own patch, with the bookies offering 2/1 for a home win.
Huddersfield Town Preview – Will the Terriers return to Yorkshire with all three points?
Carlos Corberan’s Huddersfield Town have without doubt been one of the surprise packages in the Championship this season. Before a ball was kicked, many pundits had the Terriers down for a relegation scrap, but Town are eyeing up a play-off berth.
After 27 matches played, Huddersfield have secured 11 wins, suffered eight defeats, and have drawn eight times. Ahead of this round of fixtures, Corberan’s troops are in seventh spot with 41 points to their name, a point behind sixth-place Middlesbrough.

Huddersfield are in good form and have put together a solid unbeaten run since November. They have won four and drawn two of their past six league and cup games, and we fancy Town to leave Berkshire with maximum points. The away win is nicely priced at 29/20.
Danny Ward has been in good form of late, scoring three goals in his last five Championship appearances for the Terriers. Back Ward to open the scoring in this one at 7/1.
