Huddersfield have struggled to find consistency in recent weeks, with a 3-1 home loss to Newcastle last month appearing to dent their confidence somewhat.
David Wagner’s men arrive at this weekend’s game against Preston with three losses in their last four, where they have failed to score in each of their defeats.
At home, Huddersfield have only lost two league games since December, but the pressure will be firmly upon the Terriers given that the gap between themselves and fourth-placed Leeds is just two points.
Preston arrive will an outside shot at sixth place, with the visitors sitting just eight points off Sheffield Wednesday owing to their excellent form in 2017.
Preston have lost just once in their last six games, with a recent away game against Leeds proving to be a bridge too fear for the in-form underdogs. Huddersfield must be wary of their goalscoring capabilities.
The hosts have been excellent at home this season and should be able to ease their way to a positive result to ensure that they don’t slip out of third place in the last stages of the campaign.
