THE PREDICTION
Huddersfield are by no means completed safe from relegation despite being eight points clear of 22nd-placed Rotherham with the Millers boasting two games in hand on their Yorkshire rivals. Victory here though for Carlos Corberan’s side against Blackburn would go a long way towards the Terriers securing their safety. The home team may be sat in mid-table obscurity, but will prove a tough proposition at home and with the likes of Adam Armstrong up front, Huddersfield will have to be very careful. This should be a close encounter as Huddersfield look to soak up pressure from the hosts and try to hit them on the counter attack. Eight of Huddersfield’s last ten league games have seen under 2.5 goals and the same outcome looks on the cards at Ewood Park.
