'Gone backwards' - David Prutton delivers prediction for Huddersfield Town vs Swansea City

The Terriers are still without a win in the Championship since the turn of the year, and suffered a 2-1 defeat to Middlesbrough in midweek.

By contrast, Swansea look to be mounting a serious push for an automatic promotion spot, and have won four of their last five, including a victory over Nottingham Forest in midweek.

Looking ahead to Saturday’s clash between the two sides, Prutton predicts more misery for Town.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, he said: “Huddersfield are the only side in the Championship without a win in 2021.

"It's been a tough little spell for them and they have gone a bit backwards under Carlos Corberan.

“Swansea showed their character winning late against Nottingham Forest in midweek in a game in which they were not brilliant.

"It showed their quality, and they are strong favourites here. Away win.”

Prutton forecasts a 2-0 win for the Welsh club.

Huddersfield actually won their reverse fixture against Swansea earlier in the season, with goals from Harry Toffolo and Josh Koroma handing the Swans their first defeat of the season in a clash that ended 2-1 to the Terriers.

Prior to that meeting, however, Town had endured a pretty miserable run against Saturday’s opponents, drawing two and losing three of their last five.

In fact, before October’s win, you’d have to go back to November 2007 for the last time that Huddersfield beat Swansea, with Malvin Kamara scoring the crucial goal in a League One clash.
