Huddersfield Town vs Blackburn Prediction: The home side will want to capitalize on their recent success of moving out of the Championship relegation zone

On Easter Monday, Huddersfield Town will welcome Blackburn Rovers to their home ground, as they aim to capitalize on their recent success of moving out of the Championship relegation zone. This marks the first time since August that they have been in this position.

In recent times, Huddersfield found themselves in a precarious position, wherein their chances of relegation seemed imminent. The Terriers were languishing in the relegation zone and were unable to secure a victory in their previous five encounters.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Neil Warnock, Huddersfield has experienced a remarkable reversal of fortune, triumphing over promotion contenders such as Millwall, Middlesbrough, and Watford.

 In addition to shutting out their opponents at The Den, the team rallied from deficits to secure victories against the latter two teams, amassing an impressive goal tally of seven throughout these encounters.

While the imposition of point deductions on two of their adversaries has undeniably bolstered Huddersfield's position, the team's exceptional form has brought them tantalizingly close to securing a critical victory that would provide them with a significant margin of safety.

Blackburn Rovers have recently encountered a series of setbacks, losing three of their last four fixtures. Their latest defeat was at home against their closest contenders, Norwich City, which has boosted the confidence of the high-spirited Canaries to take the lead in the playoff race.

Moreover, Mikkel Tomasson's side now faces the added pressure of being a mere three points ahead of Coventry City, currently placed ninth in the standings.

It is worth noting that Blackburn Rovers have struggled to perform on the road this season, as evidenced by their tally of 11 defeats in 20 away fixtures and a mere 21 points gained, placing them among the weakest-performing teams in the upper echelon of the league.

Considering the recent performance of both teams, one may argue that Huddersfield is a strong contender for victory in this upcoming fixture. However, Blackburn's urgency to reverse their recent form cannot be overlooked, leading us to believe that they may do enough to secure a win in what promises to be a closely contested match. Expect less than 2.5 goals in the game.
