With only six games remaining in the Championship season, Huddersfield Town will be looking to climb out of the relegation zone as they return to the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday. The team has struggled throughout the campaign to maintain their position in the second tier, earning just 40 points from 40 league games. Despite initial success under temporary manager Jon Worthington and later Andre Breitenreiter, the Terriers have failed to string together consistent results. In their last five matches, they have only managed to earn two points through draws against fellow struggling teams. With the opportunity to move out of the bottom three looming, Huddersfield will be aiming to secure a crucial win and break their streak of four winless home games.
Huddersfield Predicted Lineup
Nicholls; Spencer, Pearson, Helik; Jones, Kasumu, Matos, Rudoni, Headley; Radulovic, Healey
Millwall form
Their visitors, on the other hand, are travelling in an attempt to stay ahead of the hosts in the final five games of the season. They have significantly improved their chances of avoiding relegation in recent months.
After a 2-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday in mid-February, which extended their losing streak to four games and winless run to seven, Joe Edwards was sacked as Millwall manager. The team brought back former boss Neil Harris to lead them away from the threat of relegation.
Under Harris's leadership, Millwall won three of their first four games, moving clear of the relegation zone. However, they have struggled in their last three matches, including a 2-0 loss to Leeds United and a 2-1 defeat to Rotherham.
Despite a recent draw with West Bromwich Albion, Millwall's lead over the bottom three has been reduced to four points. They will need to regroup and aim for a win in their upcoming match in order to secure their survival.
Millwall Predicted Lineup
Sarkic; McNamara, Tanganga, Cooper, Wallace; Longman, De Norre, Saville, Watmore; Obafemi, Flemming
Huddersfield vs Millwall Expert Tips
Millwall has seen a positive improvement under new management as they battle relegation, but their recent good form has been stopped. With the importance of avoiding a loss to a team near the bottom of the table, we predict that the home team will put up a strong fight and come away with a draw.
