Huddersfield Town v Millwall – predicted Town XI, opposition preview and guessing the score

Matches

Must-win is an overused term in football these days but I think Huddersfield Town’s match against Millwall today is one that has potential to define their season. Victory could set them on course for survival and anything else leaves them with a very tricky task with five games remaining. It probably isn't over for Town if they lose but negative results elsewhere and the morale sapping impact a home defeat to a fellow struggler could mean League One would beckon.

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI to take on Rotherham

Matches

Carlos Corberán will be hoping to build on last weekend's first win of his tenure with another good performance at Rotherham later today.

Hamer was refreshingly honest after the game and admitted that his previous form at Town hadn't been good enough. Last week h...

Predicted Huddersfield Town XI to face Chelsea

Matches, Opinion

The day we’ve all been waiting for is finally here! Town’s second Premier League campaign starts today at home to Chelsea. David Wagner has a host of new players to pick from alongside some old favourites. Here’s my guess at who he’ll pick to take on Chelsea. Formation: 3-5-2 I think we’ll see David Wagner use a 3-5-2 formation against Chelsea, allowing him to choose three central defenders. This is less adventurous than the typical 4-2-3-1 shape, but will make us harder to break down and clog up the middle of the pitch when we don’t have the ball. Goalkeeper: Jonas Lössl I’m not convinced I’m right about this prediction. Lössl only played two 45 minutes spells in preseason because of his extended post-World Cup break, and looked a bit shaky at times. Ben Hamer, who came in this sum...
