Swansea City vs Huddersfield Prediction and Betting Tips | December 2nd 2023

Swansea City and Huddersfield Town will battle for three points in an EFL Championship matchday 16 fixture on Saturday.

The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat away to Leeds United. They went ahead through Jamie Paterson's goal in the opening seconds of the game but Joel Piroe drew Huddersfield level just three minutes later. Georginio Rutter gave Leeds United the lead in first-half injury time while Daniel James made sure of the result just past the hour-mark.

Huddersfield Town, meanwhile, claimed maximum points in a 2-1 away victory over Sunderland. Michal Helik and Delano Burgzorg scored on either side of Luke O'Nien to inspire the win.

Despite the victory, the Terriers remain in 21st spot, having garnered 19 points from 18 games. Swansea are one point better off in 18th place.

Swansea City vs Huddersfield Town Prediction

Swansea City's run of four games without a win has left them flirting with the relegation zone. The Swans would have envisaged a battle for the top six at the start of the season but their reality has been much starker.

Huddersfield Town are directly outside the relegation zone but have the comfort of a six-point cushion over the bottom three. A victory for Darren Moore's side would take them above their Welsh hosts, highlighting the high stakes involved in this game.

Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Swansea City 1-1 Huddersfield
