Preview of the upcoming match between Huddersfield Town and West Bromwich Albion: Forecast, updates on team news, and expected starting lineups.
West Bromwich Albion will visit Huddersfield Town at the John Smith’s Stadium on Sunday, aiming to secure a victory that would solidify their position in the top six of the Championship table. Meanwhile, Huddersfield enters the match possibly requiring a positive outcome to avoid dropping into the relegation zone by the end of the week.
Looking ahead, West Brom appears to be in a much more promising position compared to a few months ago, with a recent takeover completed and improvements evident on the field. Despite not managing to string together more than two consecutive wins since November, they seem poised to claim fifth place in the standings. Over their last eight league matches since February, they’ve secured four wins and three draws, suffering only one defeat against Southampton.
On the other hand, Huddersfield’s recent performances have shown resilience, considering their precarious position in the league. With three wins and four draws in their last ten games, they have been competitive despite being near the bottom of the table. However, results from other teams in the relegation battle have brought them closer to the danger zone. Their recent 1-0 loss to Cardiff City leaves them just outside the relegation zone, based on goal difference.
Nevertheless, Huddersfield will take some confidence from their recent home performance, notably their 1-1 draw against Leeds United last weekend, which was one of the standout results of their season.
