Barnsley vs Huddersfield Town Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by James | in Championship Predictions
A relegation battle in the Championship this Saturday sees Barnsley hosting Huddersfield. The hosts look likely to be without their top goalscorer Cauley Woodrow, the attacker who has scored nine goals this season. Woodrow missed recent matches against Derby County and Crewe Alexandra with a hamstring injury that will probably keep him sidelined for this encounter as well. It's a blow for the Tykes but they should have creative players like Conor Chaplin, who has seven goals in his last nine appearances, on the pitch. A bigger problem for Barnsley will be keeping goals out at the other end. They've got the second-worst defensive record in the division and have only managed three clean sheets in 26 games.
Although Huddersfield, in 20th, are only three places above Barnsley in the table, it could be argued that they have been underperforming to a wild degree this season. While they clearly aren't Premier League quality, the Huddersfield squad contains enough talent to at least comfortably avoid successive relegations. A win here could take them as high as 18th and could lead the charge for a push for the play-off spots. They need to string a run of results together. Their low morale was behind a series of individual errors in the 5-2 defeat to Stoke last week. If they can keep their concentration and equip themselves adequately for a physical battle, they can get a win that highlights the skill in their ranks.

Our Barnsley vs Huddersfield Town Prediction
Shirking a physical contest last week led to a heavy defeat for Huddersfield. Unwilling or unable to compete with Stoke, it served as a blueprint for Barnsley to follow. They will harry and harass Huddersfield players to try to force individual errors. If the Terriers can maintain their composure under this pressure then they should be able to make their individual quality count, as it did when they won their last meeting in October.
