Blackburn vs Huddersfield Prediction & Betting tips
Blackburn Rovers and Huddersfield Town meet at Ewood Park. Both teams can use the points very well. Blackburn Rovers would like to participate in the play-offs while Huddersfield has the same goal, but due to the very weak start, it now needs points in the fight for retention. Which team has the longest end?
Blackburn Rovers:
After eleven games, Blackburn Rovers is in a somewhat disappointing fourteenth place with the same number of points. The Rovers started the season well with thirteen points from eight games and at that time met the expectations of the outside world. Manager Tony Mowbray already announced these expectations at the end of last season, but for now the gap with number six is Bristol City still six points. Participation in the play-offs is the goal of the ambitious club. The weak series for the international break in particular did not contribute to the objective. Newcomer Luton Town lost 1-2 in-house and points were shared with Nottingham Forest at Ewood Park. The 4-2 defeat at the strong-performing Queens Park Rangers is no shame, but it is currently showing that The Rovers are not good enough to be in the top six.
During the closing press conference, Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray announced that he would not be able to appeal to defenders Darragh Lenihan and Greg Cunningham tomorrow. The latter is probably eliminated for the rest of the season due to a protracted knee injury. Lenihan has the same injury, but will be fit again in six weeks. Tosin Adarabioyo will probably replace Lenihan and Amari´i Bell will get a chance on the vacant left back position. Attacker Danny Graham sat next to Mowbray during the press conference yesterday and expressed the wish to make more minutes. On the couch he also thought it was fine as long as his team won. Graham: ‘We have played games in which the quarter could as well have fallen in our direction. We must keep faith and continue to play as a team. ”
Huddersfield Town:
Huddersfield Town was still active in the Premier League last season. The fairytale lasted for two seasons and the fans might not have expected that the club in the Championship would compete for the championship, because this competition is one of the toughest in the world. Physically, every match is a wear and tear battle and the large number of matches that must be played is a physical attack on the low-quality selection The Terriers. This became apparent during the first nine games of the season when only two points were scored from nine games. The German coach Jan Siewert had to leave the field after three games and the current interim manager Danny Cowley did not do much better in the first instance, but managed to get seven points out of the last three games. Because of these results, Huddersfield Town is 21st and that is a safe place at the end of the season.
Huddersfield Town manager Cowley looked ahead to the game against Blackburn Rovers on Friday afternoon: ‘We want to operate as a team on Saturday afternoon and do what we are good at. The players are becoming more attuned to each other and that makes me happy. Collin Quaner had surgery in Germany last week and is not available. He is happy on the way back. Striker Frazier Campbell was more talkative during the press conference: ‘We want to remain unbeaten for as long as possible. We must concentrate on what we do well and continue our good form. ”
