Huddersfield Town face Ipswich Town over the weekend, and HITC pundits give their predictions on the likely outcome.
Huddersfield 2-0 Ipswich
Ipswich are coming off an embarrassing FA Cup defeat and need a reaction. That won’t be easy against Huddersfield, who themselves are looking to bounce back from their first defeat in eight games. Expect them to dispatch Ipswich comfortably.
Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner
Huddersfield 1-0 Ipswich
On the back of an embarrassing defeat to Lincoln City, Mick McCarthy will demand his side are at their blood and thunder best at the John Smith’s Stadium. However, that will not be enough against a Huddersfield side who have made grinding out results their forte this season.
Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy
Huddersfield 2-1 Ipswich
Ipswich were abysmal in their shock cup defeat to Lincoln midweek, and Huddersfield will be keen to get back on track following defeat to Sheffield Wednesday. The Tractor Boys are normally good for a goal but expect David Wagner’s men to bag a couple.
Huddersfield 2-0 Ipswich
Promotion-chasing Huddersfield will be smarting from their defeat against Sheffield Wednesday last time out and they should make relartively light work of an Ipswich Town side sitting mid-table.
Huddersfield 2-1 Ipswich
Ipswich have been in patchy form but their midweek defeat to Lincoln will have hurt. Huddersfield on the other hand were getting results before an away loss to Sheffield Wednesday, and, crucially, have had more rest time than their opponents.
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy
Huddersfield Town 1-1 Ipswich Town
Huddersfield are fifth in the table despite Saturday’s defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, but Ipswich will be keen to make amends for Tuesday’s FA Cup embarrassment and even at his lowest ebb, it would be dangerous for the Terriers to write off a Mick McCarthy side.
