Huddersfield v Coventry

Huddersfield vs Coventry Preview

Huddersfield Town earned what could prove to be a valuable point in the Championship just before the international break as The Terriers drew 0-0 away from home at Rotherham United in the Yorkshire local derby but this result has only served to extend Huddersfield's winless run in the English second tier to four games, while Coventry City collected a second win on the trot before the break with a 2-1 win away from home at Watford to keep the Sky Blues in the hunt for a possible play-off spot.

That point against Rotherham United was not enough to lift Huddersfield Town out of the bottom three in the Championship table and having suffered recent defeats at the hands of Cardiff City and West Brom, the Yorkshire hosts look to have their work cut out ahead of this Good Friday clash with high-flying Coventry City.

Huddersfield Town have managed to collect recent wins against Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland and Watford but these have been the hosts' only highlights in an otherwise disappointing 14-game sequence which includes slipping to six defeats in the process as well.

In addition, The Terriers have managed to capture just three wins from their last 13 home games at their John Smith's Stadium too.

Coventry City remained in eighth place in the Championship table despite collecting recent back-to-back wins against Rotherham United and Watford respectively but nevertheless The Sky Blues are just four points shy of sixth placed Norwich City and the play-off pack as we head into this Easter period.

Coventry had previously been handed back-to-back losses at the hands of Preston NE and West Brom but the west midlands club will now go in search of a third consecutive win in the English second tier against their relegation haunted hosts, Huddersfield Town, on Good Friday.

The bigger picture certainly looks pretty encouraging for Mark Robin's boys as the visitors have been dealt just the three defeats out of their last 18 matches overall in the Championship which includes picking up 10 wins in the process, while also losing just twice in their previous nine outings on the road which includes five victories achieved on their travels at Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday, Stoke City and Watford respectively.

In addition, Coventry City have scored in each of their last 12 away games in the English second tier and this could spell further trouble for Huddersfield Town in this encounter.

Huddersfield Town v Coventry Verdict

Coventry City have held the upper hand in recent exchanges against Huddersfield Town as the Sky Blues are unbeaten in the last three meetings and having won two of these three games, the visitors look the more likely for the three points here.
