Game of the Week: Huddersfield Town vs Sheffield Wednesday
This week’s Game of the Week sees Huddersfield Town host Sheffield Wednesday in a meeting between two of League One’s early promotion contenders.
Huddersfield head into the fixture in strong spirits after a 3–1 victory away at Burton Albion in their most recent league outing. That result followed a 2–1 defeat to Bromley and a goalless draw at Mansfield, leaving the Terriers with four wins, three draws and one defeat from their opening eight league matches. They currently sit third in the table with 15 points.
Sheffield Wednesday have also made an impressive start to the campaign. The Owls have won four of their opening seven league games, including victories over Bromley, Wycombe Wanderers and Peterborough United.
Their last two league matches ended in goalless draws against Wigan Athletic and Stockport County, while their scheduled meeting with Cambridge United on 3 October was postponed. Wednesday sit fourth with 14 points, just one behind Huddersfield.
With just one point separating the sides, the clash at Huddersfield promises to be a closely fought contest. Both teams have made strong starts and will see this as an opportunity to strengthen their position near the top of the League One table.
