Huddersfield Town vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction: A potential six pointer on cards

Huddersfield Town will welcome Sheffield Wednesday at The John Smith's Stadium in Game Week 30 of the English Championship. A potential six pointer on cards with both teams near relegation zone. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Huddersfield Town are aiming to create a significant gap between themselves and the bottom three teams in the Championship. Despite narrowly avoiding relegation for most of the season, they have only managed to accumulate 28 points from their first 29 games under Neil Warnock and Darren Moore. This tally includes just five victories, making them one of the lowest-ranked teams in terms of wins, with only Rotherham United faring worse. However, they did impressively defeat Blackburn Rovers 3-0 on Boxing Day. Unfortunately, their recent performance has not been as strong, resulting in Moore's departure. They suffered consecutive defeats against Middlesbrough and Leicester City and have been winless in their last five games. In their most recent matches, they managed three consecutive 1-1 draws, bouncing back from behind to secure a point against Plymouth Argyle and Bristol City. They also looked set to win against Queens Park Rangers until they conceded a late goal. Currently led by Jon Worthington on a temporary basis, Huddersfield Town is only three points ahead of the bottom three teams and will be eager to increase this margin by winning their upcoming match on Saturday.

Their guests, on the other hand, will be making the short journey to the John Smith's Stadium with the goal of narrowing the gap and improving their chances of staying in the Championship under the leadership of Danny Rohl. Sheffield Wednesday, who were promoted from the third tier of English football last season, have been in the bottom three for most of the season. However, a strong run of form in December and January saw them climb up the table, including consecutive wins over Preston North End and Hull City. Despite this, they have struggled in their recent matches, suffering a heavy defeat against Southampton and a loss to Coventry City. They were also held to a draw in the FA Cup against Coventry. In their most recent game, they managed to secure a point against Watford. With five points separating Sheffield Wednesday from safety and two behind Queens Park Rangers, they will be looking to close the gap to just two points with a win in their upcoming match. They have 17 games remaining in the season to turn their fortunes around.

The upcoming match on Saturday is undeniably a crucial opportunity for both teams to secure their survival in the Championship this season. Given the stakes, we expect a cautious and closely contested game between the rival teams from Yorkshire. With both sides keen to steer clear of a detrimental loss, it is highly probable that the match at the John Smith's Stadium will result in a draw.
