Huddersfield vs West Brom predictions: Terriers to make it tough for Baggies
&w=707&quality=100)
- Huddersfield have lost only one of their last five home league games
- West Brom have drawn three of their last four away matches
- Recommended bet: Draw
This is a massive match at both ends of the Championship table, with hosts Huddersfield still having plenty of work to do to secure survival and West Brom in the play-off places and targeting promotion.
The table suggests the visitors should come out on top, but Town held promotion-chasing Leeds to a 1-1 draw in their last home outing and have suffered only one defeat in their last five league matches at the John Smith's Stadium.
The Baggies were fifth in the standings ahead of the weekend action and have promotion in their sights, albeit via the play-offs, but they head to West Yorkshire having won only one of their last seven away games.
West Brom boss Carlos Corberan used to manage the Terriers and how he would love to get one over his former employers.
Team news
Jonathan Hogg is available again for Huddersfield after suspension, but Yuta Nakayama and Oliver Turton remain on the sidelines.
Kian Harratt is suspended for the hosts while Radinio Balker, Rhys Healey and Josh Ruffels are also missing.
Visitors West Brom must cope without Daryl Dike, Josh Maja, Matt Phillips, Conor Townsend and Brandon Thomas-Asante.

The stats
Huddersfield have lost only one of their last five home league games, having held highflying Leeds to a 1-1 draw in the latest of them.
Four of Huddersfield's last six Championship home games have seen both teams score, while the net has bulged at both ends in seven of their last 10 home league outings.
West Brom have lost only two of their last 10 league matches, although they have won only one of their last seven away league outings.
The Baggies have drawn three of their last four away games against Ipswich, Hull and Queens Park Rangers.
There have been three or more goals in five of the last seven Championship meetings between these sides.
Prediction
Huddersfield have lost only one of their last five Championship home games and they may be able to dig out a huge point in their battle to avoid the drop.
The Terriers frustrated second-placed Leeds in a 1-1 draw in their last home outing, having played the whole second half with 10 men and they may be able to match the Baggies, who have registered just one away win this year.
West Brom have been held to draws in three of their last four away games and, interestingly, this fixture finished all-square last season with the pair playing out a 2-2 draw.
Corberan’s visitors should lock down a place in the play-offs, but with attacking talents Thomas-Asante, Phillips and Dike sidelined, they are less daunting than would usually be the case and those absences could cost them.
