Barnsley have promotion thoughts on their minds and a slip-up in a relatively straightforward game could prove costly.
The hosts tend to be more compact against bigger sides but they also have the propensity to hurt Barnsley's expansive line. We are predicting a victory for the visitors, with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Huddersfield Town 1-2 Barnsley
