Huddersfield Town vs Blackburn Rovers Prediction: Blackburn lost last two games

Huddersfield Town will welcome Blackburn Rovers at The John Smith's Stadium in Game Week 24 of the English Championship. Blackburn has lost two games on the trot and could do with a win in this one. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Huddersfield is still in search of their first victory in December after experiencing three draws and two losses in their five games this month. The team's most recent defeat came from Norwich City, with Sam McCallum and Borja Sainz scoring goals to secure a 2-0 away win. As a result, Huddersfield is now in 21st place, just two points above relegation. This loss marks their fifth away defeat of the Championship season. Huddersfield will now be returning to their home stadium, the John Smith's Stadium, where they have only accumulated 11 points from their 12 home league matches. Only Queens Park Rangers and Millwall have gained fewer points on their home turf this season. In their previous five home matches, Huddersfield has failed to score more than one goal. To turn their fortunes around, the team must find a way to be more clinical in the final third of the pitch. However, Huddersfield can take some confidence from their unbeaten record in their last seven home games against Blackburn (with three wins and four draws).

Blackburn, who are currently in 14th place, have a considerable 11-point advantage over their upcoming opponents. However, they will be heading to Yorkshire on the back of a string of poor performances. Jon Dahl Tomasson's team has suffered four defeats in their last five matches, with their only win coming in between. They were recently defeated 4-0 by Southampton and then suffered another loss against Watford. Despite initially taking the lead through Adam Wharton, Blackburn ended up empty-handed as Watford scored two late goals through Mileta Rajovic and Rhys Healey. This result was especially disappointing as it marked their second consecutive defeat. Now, Rovers will look to refocus as they prepare to face Huddersfield, aiming to secure an away victory against them for the first time since their 4-2 win in March 2014.

Huddersfield and Blackburn have recently struggled to secure victories, and considering that two out of their last three encounters ended in a tie, it is likely that both teams will settle for a draw in their upcoming Boxing Day match. Take a double chance on the home side.
