Harry Mail

“Huddersfield Town are winless in their last four games and have won just once in their last five.

JAMES RAY

“The Terriers need to start picking up more wins to avoid dropping into League One and could be tricky opponents for promotion hopefuls Coventry City.

“However, the Sky Blues will be full of confidence after Premier League side Wolves in their last clash in the FA Cup.

“Mark Robins’ men are still in with a great shout of sneaking into the top six as they battle it out with Norwich City and Hull City. I think they will sneak it here at the John Smith’s Stadium.”

Huddersfield Town vs Coventry City prediction: 1-2

James Ray

“Huddersfield Town have no choice but to fight tooth and nail. They’ve seen their form slide away again and relegation remains a real possibility heading into the business end of the season.

“They’re not in for an easy game this weekend either. Coventry City are a dangerous side and as they battle for a top six spot, they’re going to be giving it their all too.

“It could lead to a pretty competitive game but ultimately, I think it’s hard to see the hosts getting a valuable win. Coventry’s advantage in terms of potency at the top of the pitch will be the difference here.”
