Match preview
Two sides battling it out at opposite ends of the table are set to lock horns in a Championship clash at The John Smith’s Stadium this Saturday, April 1st.
The matchup in question will see Huddersfield Town act as hosts, in a meeting with Middlesbrough.
Beginning with the former, Huddersfield, of course, are currently in the thick of the battle against relegation to League One.
The Terriers, who were pipped to promotion last time out, find themselves sitting 22nd in the table, with just eight games to play.
This comes with Huddersfield having headed into the international break fresh off showcasing signs of life in their ongoing bid for survival.
All told, just one of the club’s last four have culminated in defeat, with a credible stalemate with Norwich City having been followed last time out by a head-turning victory over Millwall at The Den.

Safe to say, however, that adding to this positive run on Saturday afternoon will prove no easy feat for Warnock and co.
This comes with their upcoming opponents having long established themselves as, after table-topping Burnley, the most in-form club in England’s 2nd tier.
After themselves spending the early months of the campaign scrapping it out towards the foot of the table, Middlesbrough, under the watch of Michael Carrick, have surged up the table, to the thick of the promotion battle.
Ahead of the upcoming round of fixtures, Boro find themselves sitting in 3rd, just three points adrift of Sheffield United in the final automatic promotion berth.
This has come in no small part owing to a fine stretch of results across the month of March, which saw the Yorkshire-based outfit rack up ten points from an available twelve.
Most recently, in their final fixture heading into the international break, Carrick’s men put four past in-form Preston North End, a victory kicked into gear by yet another goal from Championship top scorer Chuba Akpom.
Taking all of this into account, despite Huddersfield’s considerable improvement of late, we at 101 are therefore backing Middlesbrough to ultimately prove too much for their hosts at The John Smith’s Stadium this Saturday.
