Birmingham City v Huddersfield Town - Sky Bet Championship
Huddersfield Town will host Blackpool on Sunday - Sky Bet Championship

Huddersfield Town will host Blackpool at the John Smith's Stadium on Sunday afternoon in another round of EFL Championship football.

The Terriers have struggled to come alive under new boss Danny Schofield. They were beaten 2-0 by Bristol City in their last game and will be gutted to have come away with nothing as they had a few chances to get on the scoresheet themselves.

Huddersfield Town sit 23rd in the league table with just four points from six games. They can exit the drop zone with maximum points this weekend and will be looking to do just that.

Blackpool have had mixed results this season. They also lost their last league outing, falling to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Blackburn Rovers as they struggled to hit the clinical heights they have shown in recent weeks.

The visitors have picked up eight points from seven games and sit 15th in the Championship standings. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways on Sunday.

Huddersfield Town vs Blackpool Prediction

The hosts are on a three-game winless streak and have won just one of their seven games across all competitions this season. All four of their points this season have come on home turf and they will hope to maximize their home advantage on Sunday.

The Seasiders' latest result ended a three-game unbeaten streak and they will aim to bounce back this weekend. They are unbeaten in their last two games on the road and could pick up a point here.

Prediction: Huddersfield Town 1-1 Blackpool
