Huddersfield Town are on a march to the playoffs
Coventry City will host Huddersfield Town in the penultimate round of EFL Championship action on Saturday.
Coventry’s last chance to sneak into the playoffs went amiss as they could only draw their game against West Brom. The result, coupled with a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth the previous week, has meant that even if they manage to win their remaining two games, they will be out of playoff contention.
Their rivals, on the other hand, have booked their place in the playoffs and will look to finish the regular season on a high.
Coventry City vs Huddersfield Town Head-To-Head
Huddersfield Town boast a superior record in the history of this fixture, claiming eight wins from the last 17 meetings between the sides. Coventry City have picked up five wins in that time, while four games have ended all square.
The last time they met each other, the game ended in a stalemate.
The recent record overwhelmingly favors the visitors, who are unbeaten in their last five league outings.

Coventry City vs Huddersfield Town Prediction
This happens to be one of those insignificant ties to be played out in the final weeks of the EFL Championship. Neither of the teams, at this point, have much to prove.
Huddersfield’s prime focus will be on the playoffs after they conceded second spot to Bournemouth, who have two games in hand compared to the visitors.
A win for the visitors is on the cards.
