Huddersfield Town vs Reading Prediction: Huddersfield has been on a winning streak

Huddersfield Town is set to host Reading on Monday at Turf Moor. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes? 

Huddersfield Town form

Huddersfield Town had a disappointing start to their Championship season, accumulating only 28 points from their first 31 games, which placed them in serious danger of relegation. However, following the appointment of Neil Warnock in February, the team's fortunes significantly improved. Despite a slow start, winning just one of his first six games, Warnock led the team to three consecutive wins in late March and early April against Millwall, Middlesbrough, and Watford. The team then secured a commendable draw against Blackburn Rovers before suffering a defeat to Swansea City. In their following match against playoff-chasing Sunderland, they managed to secure a point in a 1-1 draw before claiming a vital 2-1 away victory over Cardiff City with goals from Joseph Hungbo and a Jack Simpson own goal.

With two games remaining, Huddersfield needed to earn a point from their fixture against Sheffield United or Monday's game to avoid relegation. They achieved their objective with a 1-0 victory against Sheffield United, securing their position in the Championship for the next season. With their safety guaranteed and no pressure on the final day, Huddersfield will hope to end the season on a high note in their last game at the John Smith's Stadium, especially as Warnock's tenure with the team is expected to come to an end.

Huddersfield Town Predicted Lineup

Nicholls; Lees, Helik, Pearson; Edmonds-Green, Hogg, Kasumu, Headley; Rudoni, Koroma; Ward

Reading Form

The Royals will travel to Huddersfield for their final game of the season after being relegated to League One. The season has been tough for the Royals, with a six-point deduction in April which led to the dismissal of manager Paul Ince after a winless run. Noel Hunt was appointed as the interim manager, but he has not been able to turn the team's fortunes around. After 11 games without a win, they were only able to secure a point against Wigan Athletic in their previous match. Despite hoping for a victory against Huddersfield to avoid relegation, their fate was sealed following Huddersfield's midweek success. Reading will look to end the season on a high note before preparing to return to the Championship next season.

Reading possible lineup

Lumley; Abrefa, Holmes, McIntyre, Guinness-Walker; Hendrick, Casadei, Camara, Azeez; Carroll, Ehibhatiomhan

Huddersfield Town vs Reading Expert Tips

Huddersfield has been on a winning streak, having won their previous two games and losing only one of their last nine matches. In addition, they have remained unbeaten in their last five home games. On the other hand, Reading has not managed to secure a win in their last twelve matches, and they have lost nine of their last ten away games. As a result, they are at risk of losing this game. We expect under 2.5 goals in the game.
