Huddersfield Town vs Millwall Prediction

Huddersfield Town have a host of injury issues to deal with, and manager Carlos Corberan has a tough job to do under the current circumstances. The Terriers have signed Rolando Aarons and Danny Grant this month to reinforce the squad.

Millwall, on the other hand, are 16th in the league table. Attacker Jed Wallace has been crucial to their attacking hopes, while the likes of Troy Parrott and Kenneth Zohore will have to step up.

Millwall are five points behind Huddersfield Town, but have a game in hand. We expect the two Championship sides to play out a low-scoring draw.

Prediction: Huddersfield Town 1-1 Millwall
