Swansea City Preview – Swans to keep up fine form with another home win?
Since kicking off their season with a disappointing defeat in the Carabao Cup to fellow Welsh team Newport County, Swansea City are unbeaten in four Championship games. So far, Steve Cooper’s boys have won three and drawn one of their opening four.
Swansea’s league season started with a 1-0 away victory at Preston North End. The Swans then drew 0-0 at home with Birmingham City before sealing back-to-back victories over Wycombe Wanderers and Millwall. In the match against the Lions before the international break, Wales international Ben Cabango hit the winner in a narrow 2-1 success.
Swansea made a stunning start last season, too, eventually finishing in the final play-off spot. Cooper’s men will be looking for another top six finish this time around. City are currently in fourth place.
Victory over Huddersfield at the weekend will lift the Swans on to 13 points from a possible 15. Will they get the job done on their own patch?
Huddersfield Town Preview – Terriers to leave Wales with zero points?
Carlos Corberan, who was recently Leeds United’s U23 boss, had had a tough start to life at the John Smith’s Stadium up until now. The Terriers have taken just four points from their opening four matches, scoring a mere two goals along the way.
Huddersfield started with three successive league and cup defeats. They lost at home to Rochdale in the first round of the EFL Cup before losing to Norwich City and Brentford in the Championship. However, they finally got off the mark on matchday three, with a Fraizer Campbell strike giving the Terriers a much-needed 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the John Smith’s Stadium.
