Huddersfield travel to Southampton this weekend, where they will look to defeat the high-flying favourites. The Saints are on fire, but they failed to beat the Terriers earlier this season, with the tie ending 1-1.
Southampton
Russell Martin’s side looks like they can’t be stopped this season, and if they continue with their current run, a return to the Premier League is guaranteed. Southampton are now unbeaten in a huge 24 games across all competitions, scoring 55 goals and conceding just 32 in 29 Championship games. This record puts the side second in the league table, with 18 wins and 61 points.
Last time out, the Saints defeated Watford in the FA Cup to progress to the next round. The score line ended 3-0 for the hosts, with Che Adams picking up a goal and two assists.
Huddersfield Town
The Terriers will be terrified about going to Southampton this weekend, even though they haven’t lost in their last four games. Nonetheless, they’re still very much in danger, sitting in 21st, just three points above the drop zone. They’ve had issues at both ends of the field, scoring just 33 times and conceding 47, but the former is the more pressing issue.
That said, Huddersfield picked up a huge 4-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend. Josh Koroma and Sorba Thomas starred, as they netted four after the break.
Verdict?
Southampton will win this game and continue their phenomenal streak, even though the visitors will have gained confidence from the weekend’s result.
The final prediction is Southampton 3-1 Huddersfield Town.
