Huddersfield vs Coventry prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2024-03-28 15:00.
[p]Huddersfield Town halted a two-game losing run with a 0-0 draw before the international break, albeit against the Championship’s bottom club Rotherham United, which will have been viewed as a missed opportunity to move out of the relegation zone. It’s not all doom and gloom however, as André Breitenreiter’s side are in the bottom three only on goal difference and just three points adrift of 17th-placed Blackburn Rovers, while the Terriers haven’t lost on Good Friday since 1978 (W5, D2).[/p]
[p]The John Smith’s Stadium certainly hasn’t been a fortress this season for Huddersfield, who are searching for their first win there in four (D1, L2). The hosts are likely to keep the goals coming though, as they have scored in their last 11 home league encounters, but have only netted more than once on two of those occasions. [/p]
[p]Coventry City will play their first Championship match in nearly three weeks, but in the midst of their league hiatus, they booked a historic FA Cup semi-final spot in the interim – their first since 1987, when they won the competition. However, that upcoming date at Wembley against Manchester United is preceded by a string of important league fixtures as they currently sit four points off the top six, but with a game in hand on West Bromwich Albion and Hull City above them heading into this weekend, hope is certainly not lost yet. [/p]
[p]Mark Robins’ men are on a three-match winning run, but may be wary of the club’s poor record of just three victories over their last 17 league outings (W3, D6, L8) on Good Friday. Improving on that sequence will give a much-needed boost to their away form, which has been indifferent across their last five trips (W2, D1, L2).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Michał Helik scored Huddersfield’s late equaliser in the reverse fixture (1-1), and his last two Championship goals have come in games with the same scoreline. There could be a third goal in the offing though if the FA Cup quarter-final match winner against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Haji Wright, gets on the board, as his last three league strikes have come in away games that have ended 2-1.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Seven of Coventry’s last 11 Championship away matches have featured exactly three goals.[/p]
