Huddersfield Town will play host to Swansea City on Saturday the 20th of February at the John Smith’s Stadium. 3 pm K.O.
Huddersfield Town
Huddersfield are currently sitting 19th in the table, owing to an abysmal run of form since the start of the year.
The Terriers have failed to get a single win in 2021 despite their efforts to do so.
Huddersfield’s last game was against Middlesbrough Town, which saw them once again suffer a loss despite taking an early lead.
They only really stood out in the first 15 minutes and the last 10 minutes following a Middlesbrough red card.
Huddersfield had the overlap in the last 10 minutes but could not find the net for the second time to bring something out of the game.
Swansea City
Swansea are currently sitting 3rd in the table now, a strong position to say the least.
Their recent performances have also been solid, coming away with 13 points in their last five games.
With the form Swansea are on, Huddersfield are going to have to put up a fight if they want to come away from this game with something.
The last time that Huddersfield and Swansea played was last October, with Huddersfield securing the victory 2-1.
Looking into the statistics of both the teams and the positions that they are both in, I do feel like the Terriers are going to struggle in this game tomorrow, but in the end, it’s anyone’s game.
Ones to Watch
Andre Ayew
The forward has managed to bag himself 9 goals and 2 assists this season putting him 10th on the top scorers for the season so far.
He is a player that Huddersfield are going to have to keep an eye on for tomorrow’s game because if he gets the opportunity to score, he is going to take it.
Pre-Match Press Conference
Speaking on the loss against Middlesbrough, Manager Carlos Corberán said: “In the first half, it was hard to move from our goal.
“After our moments in defence, we could not create moments in the attack, and the consequence for this is we were stressed, and that is why they managed to get their goals against us.”
Prediction
Huddersfield are having a very bad start to the year and this is something that the manager has to look at turning around to make sure that they have the safety points they need to stay in the championship.
Swansea are playing well so far this season and their place in the table shows this.
The Swans are very strong up front to make sure that if they are getting the chance to score, they are taking this opportunity and making the most of it.
