Huddersfield Town vs Leeds United Prediction: Leeds on second spot only on points difference

Huddersfield Town will welcome Leeds United at The John Smith's Stadium in Game Week 35 of the English Championship. Leeds are on second spot only on points difference. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Huddersfield Town will return to the John Smith's Stadium in a positive mood on Saturday after strengthening their Championship survival bid in recent weeks. The team's fortunes have improved since caretaker boss Jon Worthington took over, starting with a 4-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday. Despite a loss to Southampton and a managerial change, Huddersfield bounced back with a 1-0 victory against Sunderland before securing a 2-1 win over Watford in their most recent match. Sitting in 19th place with a two-point lead over the relegation zone, the team will look to continue their climb under new manager Andre Breitenreiter.

Leeds United's schedule remains challenging as they prepare to face off against Huddersfield Town at John Smith's Stadium in their pursuit of maintaining a perfect league record in 2024 and solidifying their position in the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League. Since Daniel Farke took over as manager, Leeds United have been performing exceptionally well in the Championship, accumulating 72 points from 34 games and positioning themselves strongly for a top-two finish. Despite suffering back-to-back defeats in December, Leeds United have bounced back impressively with nine consecutive wins, scoring 22 goals and conceding only two in the process. Following recent victories against Rotherham United, Swansea City, Plymouth Argyle, and league leaders Leicester City, Leeds United will now shift their focus back to the Championship after a close FA Cup loss to Chelsea and aim to secure a 10th consecutive win to maintain their lead over Ipswich in the promotion race.

Due to their recent performance and the importance of maintaining their position above the relegation zone, Huddersfield Town is expected to pose a challenge for their West Yorkshire counterparts at home. However, Leeds is predicted to have superior quality compared to the Terriers, and we believe that Farke's team, known for their scoring abilities, will extend their winning streak over the weekend.
