by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Prediction
Preston North End, who are second on the Championship standings will be at home to take on 18th placed Huddersfield Town in the 16th round of matches in the league. Ahead of this match, Preston have registered 28 points and Huddersfield have 16 points. Preston have really improved from their poor finish to the Championship last season. At the close of last season, they had just one win in eight matches; in the last five matches this season, they have managed three wins. They have scored in four of their last five matches and have 10 goals in the last five matches. They are the joint best scorers in the league, with 28 goals. However, they have not been as good in defending, having conceded 16 goals, making them the second worst defensive side in the top five in the Championship. They have lost just two of the last 14 matches. They are unbeaten in the last four home matches, winning two and drawing two, and scoring 12 goals in the process.

Our Preston North End vs Huddersfield Town Prediction
Huddersfield have registered a lot of progress in their recent matches and they will want to carry on here. Their recent form will boost them and the fact that they have taken points on the road is a signal of their improvement. Preston will however be a tough place to go. Preston are unbeaten in four at home but their main undoing is in the porous defence they have had this season. In the last five home matches, they have conceded 10 goals. The big positive though, is that their only home loss in 10 matches came against Manchester City. We don’t think they will lose to Huddersfield Town; we see a draw written all over this clash.
