Huddersfield Town will welcome Bolton Wanderers to John Smith's Stadium in the Football League One on Thursday. The Terriers have six wins from 11 games and have a two-point lead over ninth-placed Bolton.
The hosts met Stockport County at home in their previous league outing before the international break and suffered a 2-1 loss. They conceded a goal apiece in either half, and Bojan Radulović scored a consolation goal in stoppage time. Their league meeting against Luton Town last week was rescheduled, as Luton had multiple players on international duty.
The visitors met Burton Albion last week and suffered a 3-0 away loss. They failed to score for the second time in three games and will look to improve upon that record.
