Prediction published on 22/11/2023, 18:01  by Steve Ashfield in Championship Predictions

In-form Southampton travel to Huddersfield Town who are 21st in the Championship, The Saints begin this game in fourth place but are nine points behind the second automatic promotion spot currently held by Ipswich Town. It's been an up and down season for Southampton as they bid to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Key players were lost during the transfer window and September saw a run of four successive league losses. Their form has picked up of late though and they come into this fixture unbeaten in their last eight league games. The last three have all been won, most recently a 2-1 home win over West Bromwich Albion. A form guide for the last five Championship games has them at the top of the table. Away league form has produced five wins with two losses. Three of the last four have been won as they continue to make strides up the table.

Huddersfield Town are only a place above the relegation zone but four points clear of Rotherham United. The Terriers have only won three of their 16 Championship fixtures this season. They have only earned one point from their last four league games, losing 1-0 at Hull City in their most recent match. Only 14 league goals have been scored this season with just one in their last four.. Home form has seen them win two of their eight league games but they've failed to score in the last two and earned just a single point. We go for Southampton to get an away win.
