Huddersfield vs Barnsley Predictions

• The hosts have won over half of their home games this season.
• Barnsley are yet to win on the road this campaign and are in a downward spiral.
• Huddersfield will see this as an ideal chance to build some momentum after victory against Derby in the week.

Unbeaten Huddersfield eyeing another victory

Huddersfield Town left it relatively late before eventually putting a 10-man Derby COunty outfit to the sword during the week. However, that 2-0 win means the Terriers have now gone unbeaten across their last 11 games and have only lost once at home since October. They have conceded in five of their last six on home soil but they’ll be confident of having too much quality for a drastically poor Barnsley side.

Where to begin with the Tykes. They’re on a downward spiral and look resigned to relegation, however, this competition could serve as a welcomed distraction from the league and in a one-off game, they’ll feel they can get a win under their belts. They’ll need improvement across the park though as their defence has been under the cosh of late. They’ve lost four in a row after their defeat at home to Cardiff City in the week and have been handed defeats in 11 of their 15 away matches.

From bad to worse for Barnsley

Despite this being a cup competition, it’s hard to ignore the problems at Barnsley and we think the hosts, just as they did during the week against Derby County, will find a way through and brush Barnsley aside.
