THE PREDICTION
A 2-1 defeat at the hands of ten-man Middlesbrough in midweek made it nine games in all competitions without victory for Carlos Corberan’s Huddersfield, with the Spanish now starting to come under fire from the Terriers support following this awful run of form. Things don’t look like getting any better here with high-flying Swansea next to face the Yorkshire strugglers. Steve Cooper’s men sit just one point outside the automatic promotion places with two games in hand after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest this past Wednesday and know that they cannot afford to slip up here and potentially lose ground on the top two. Therefore, the Swans will be expected to start this match at a high intensity and maintain this level throughout the 90 minutes, asserting their control over Huddersfield and rarely giving the ball away. This should lead to the away side picking up what would be their eighth Championship away win of the season.
