Coventry City vs Huddersfield Town Prediction
Coventry have only played two games so far and find themselves at the bottom of the division. This game promises to be a good one, as an out-of-form Huddersfield side visit the Pirelli Stadium.
Both teams will be desperate for a win, especially the visitors, who have picked up a solitary win in their first four. The hosts, meanwhile, will look to get out of the relegation zone this week
In what looks like a clash between two evely matched teams, Huddersfield should emerge triumphant.
Prediction: Coventry 1-2 Huddersfield
