Huddersfield Town vs Norwich City Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview

Huddersfield Town take on Norwich City in a live Championship match this Wednesday night. Read the match predictions to find out why a home win is the betting tip at the John Smith’s Stadium. The Terriers lost their last match 0-1 at home to Burton Albion while the Canaries were beaten 2-0 away to Aston Villa.

Huddersfield Town vs Norwich City Preview

Huddersfield will be without Dean Whitehead who is suspended following a red card in the defeat to Burton. Jon Gorenc Stankovic is a long term absentee with cruciate ligament damage while there are doubts around Izzy Brown, Harry Bunn and Kasey Palmer. Elias Kachunga scored twice in the reverse fixture and could be a player to watch on the right flank.

Norwich have both right-back Ivo Pinto and left-back Mitchell Dijks suspended. Wes Hoolahan is unlikely to feature after missing the defeat to Aston Villa with a thigh injury. Graham Dorrans and Louis Thompson are injured and this game will come too soon for Youssouf Mulumbu and Matt Jarvis who are short of match fitness.

Huddersfield Town vs Norwich City Prediction

Huddersfield have a game in hand on Brighton and Newcastle, so will believe that they can still clinch an automatic promotion spot. Losing 4-0 away to Bristol City was a bitter pill to swallow and the fact that they then lost at home to Burton means that they can ill-afford to drop any points here.

Norwich can still make the playoffs but their overall form is inconsistent and it’s difficult to see the teams above them giving much away. The Canaries have drawn a lot of games recently which hasn’t helped their cause. They beat Barnsley 2-0 at home but then showed their travel sickness when losing by the same scoreline to Villa the following week.

Huddersfield really need to win this and come against an injury-hit Norwich side that has lost three of their last four on the road. The Canaries traveling form is well documented, with just 1 win from 14 away games in the Championship. The home side should come out on top here.
