Huddersfield Town vs Barnsley prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22

The English Championship resumes this weekend and will see Huddersfield Town host Barnsley at the John Smith's Stadium on Friday night.

Huddersfield Town are enjoying a good run of form at the moment. They beat struggling Middlesbrough 2-0 earlier this week via goals from Naby Sarr and Jordan Rhodes in either half, with the latter scoring his first-ever away goal for the Terriers.

The home side sit third in the league table with 73 points from 43 games. They will be looking to continue their strong run to confirm a playoff spot as soon as possible.

Barnsley have been perhaps the biggest disappointment in the English Championship this season as they are currently battling relegation after making it to the playoffs last season. They were beaten 2-0 by fellow relegation battlers Peterborough United last time out.

The Tykes sit rock-bottom in the Championship standings with just 30 points from 42 games. Any result short of a victory on Friday will confirm relegation for the visitors.
