Huddersfield vs Middlesbrough Preview: Form, News, and Potential Lineups
Check out the latest news and information on both teams ahead of their game, including the possible Huddersfield vs Middlesbrough lineups:
Huddersfield
In the last six games in the league, Huddersfield has one win, two draws, and three losses, which is obviously far from great. In fact, the team dropped to the relegation zone due to their recent form and now they are sitting three points behind the first team outside of it. So, the last eight games of the season will determine if Huddersfield will remain in Championship or move to League One.
On top of that, Huddersfield is currently dealing with many injuries, with ten of their players on the injury list at the moment.
Huddersfield Predicted Lineup:
Vaclik – Pearson, Lees, Helik, Ruffels – Hogg, Edmonds-Green – Koroma, Rudoni, Jackson – Ward
Middlesbrough
With four wins in the last six games, along with one draw and one loss, Middlesbrough has been in good form recently and they remain in close pursuit of Sheffield United and direct promotion to Premier League. Right now, Middlesbrough is three points behind the second place and with eight games left to be played, their fans are rightfully hoping that their team can overtake Sheffield in this tight race.
When it comes to team news, Cameron Archer and Matt Clarke are the only two players who are injured and out of the upcoming game.
Middlesbrough Predicted Lineup:
Steffen – Smith, Fry, Lenihan, Giles – Howson, Hackney – Forss, Akpom, McGree – Archer

Player to Watch: Chuba Akpom
Even if we didn't expect Middlesbrough to win this game and we do, we would have a hard time choosing anyone other than Chuba Akpom as our player to watch in this match.
After all, the English winger has been one of the best players in the Championship this season and he will most likely finish as the top goalscorer since he is currently at 24 goals. So, Huddersfield will have to pay special attention to Akpom in this duel.
