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

Looking to end their four-game losing streak and pull clear of the relegation zone, Reading take on Huddersfield Town at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday.

The hosts, by contrast, head into the game unbeaten in each of their last eight outings and will be aiming to move into the playoff places.

Reading were left empty handed once again as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Luton Town on home turf on Wednesday.

They have now lost each of their most recent four games, while they remain without a win in any of their last seven.

With 22 points from 26 games, Reading are currently 21st in the EFL Championship table, three points above Peterborough United in the final relegation spot.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield Town were denied a second consecutive victory last time out as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Swansea City.

This followed an impressive 2-1 victory over Burnley which saw them progress to the next round of the FA Cup.

Huddersfield Town, who are on an eight-game unbeaten run, are currently seventh on the log, one point behind Middlesbrough in the final playoff spot.
