Huddersfield v Preston

Huddersfield vs Preston Preview

Huddersfield Town will be eager to extend their unbeaten run in the Championship to five games on Tuesday night when they entertain Preston NE at their John Smith's Stadium as Darren Moore's side have produced something of a recovery in recent times while Preston NE's winless run in the English second tier was extended to four games on the weekend with a 0-0 draw away from home at Norwich City.

Huddersfield had experienced a particularly lean period in the Championship beforehand as The Terriers had managed to capture just the single win from their previous 10 games in the second tier which came in the form of a 2-1 home win against QPR and being handed four defeats in the process, but an improved, if not stubborn, sequence of results in their subsequent four games has given the Yorkshire club renewed belief and confidence.

Points picked up in draws with Southampton, Swansea City and Bristol City have been boosted by a recent and most impressive 2-1 win away from home at Sunderland which contributed to the sacking of former Black Cats manager, Tony Mowbray.

Following disastrous back-to-back defeats at home this season, Huddersfield have certainly tightened things up at home as the hosts have lost just one further game in their subsequent eight games at their John Smith's Stadium.

Preston NE had produced an emphatic start to their Championship campaign as The Lilywhites put together an impressive eight-match unbeaten run which consisted of six wins and two draws to hand the visitors and manager, Ryan Lowe, the almost perfect start to the new season.

Preston's early six-match winning streak in the second tier also included wins achieved on the road at Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke City but somewhere along the line, the visitors have lost their way in dramatic fashion as Lowe's side have managed to pick up just two further wins in their subsequent 13 games overall in the Championship.

Victories against Coventry City and Blackburn Rovers though were scant consolation in answer to being handed no fewer than seven defeats within this worrying decline in form and these recent sequence of results do not appear to bode well for this upcoming trip to the John Smith's Stadium to take on a Huddersfield Town outfit who are enjoying a mini revival.

In addition, Preston have managed just one win from their last seven away games in the Championship, so the goals market may be the safest option for this upcoming fixture.

Huddersfield Town v Preston NE Verdict

Six of Huddersfield Town's last 10 games in the second tier have resulted in both teams scoring while the same ratio has applied to six of Preston's last 10 games overall as well and the possibility of a draw cannot be ruled out here either.
