Huddersfield Town vs Reading Prediction and Betting Tips | May 8, 2023 

Huddersfield Town host Reading at the John Smith's Stadium on Monday (May 8) in the final round of the Championship.

The hosts endured a grossly underwhelming campaign but have pulled off a remarkable escape under veteran manager Neil Warnock. The Terriers guaranteed safety on Thursday with a 1-0 win over Premier League-bound Sheffield United, thanks to a Daniel Ward winner just before the hour mark.

Huddersfield are 18th in the league with 50 points. With safety guaranteed, the Terriers will look to close out the season with a win in front of their fans.

Reading, meanwhile, have endured a disastrous second half of the season, getting relegated to the third ier following the Terriers' win. They drew 1-1 against last-placed Wigan Athletic in their last game, falling behind at the 81st minute before Yakou Meite scored a close-range equaliser late on.
