Huddersfield Town and Blackburn Rovers go head-to-head in round 41 of the EFL Championships on Monday (April 10). The Rovers have returned empty-handed from their last three trips to the John Smith's Stadium, and will look to end this poor record.
Huddersfield moved out of the relegation zone on Friday (April 7) with a thrilling 3-2 win over Watford at Vicarage Road. Neil Warnock’s side have now won three straight games, scoring eight goals and conceding four since a 1-1 draw with Norwich City on March 15. With 42 points from 40 games, Huddersfield are 20th in the Championship, level on points with 19th-placed Cardiff City and one point above the danger zone.
Meanwhile, Blackburn continue to lose pace in their race for the playoffs following a 2-0 loss against Norwich City at Ewood Park on Friday. Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side have now lost their last three outings across competitions, including a 3-2 defeat against Sheffield United in the FA Cup quarterfinals on March 19.
With 61 points from 39 games, Blackburn are sixth in the league, just one point above seventh-placed Norwich outside the playoffs places.
