Huddersfield Town vs Rotherham United Prediction: The two teams have occupied the bottom of the table

Huddersfield Town form

Huddersfield Town, led by manager Neil Warnock, narrowly avoided relegation from the Championship last season. They entered the 2023-24 campaign focused on maintaining their status in the second tier. However, they had a slow start, losing their first two league matches to Plymouth Argyle and Leicester City, and were also eliminated from the EFL Cup by Middlesbrough.

They finally secured their first point of the season in a 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough, but then suffered a 4-0 defeat to Norwich City. In their most recent match against West Bromwich Albion, they initially looked to settle for a draw as the game was tied 1-1, but managed to secure a dramatic late victory with a goal from Jack Rudoni in injury time.

Although they were eager to build on that win and improve their form, Huddersfield Town now face their next challenge after the international break, aiming to secure a second consecutive victory.

Rotherham United will be welcomed by Huddersfield Town as they make the short journey with the aim of securing their survival in the league. Managed by Matt Taylor, Rotherham managed to maintain their position in the second tier last season and finished at 19th place with 50 points. This season, however, they began with a defeat against Stoke City by a score of 4-1. They managed to scrape past Morecambe in the EFL Cup but were disappointed by a draw against Blackburn Rovers, despite taking a 2-0 lead. After consecutive losses against Sunderland and Leicester City, as well as a 6-1 thrashing in the EFL Cup, Rotherham secured their first league victory by defeating Norwich City. They will now look to build on that success in their upcoming match against Huddersfield Town at John Smith's Stadium.
