Barnsley – Huddersfield

Barnsley host a formidable Huddersfield side that sit second in the table with 12 points from six games, having remained unbeaten with three wins and three draws while conceding just four goals. The hosts sit 18th, holding only seven points after two victories, a draw and three defeats, and their defensive frailties are evident in a 6‑11 goal record. Huddersfield’s solid defensive record and unbeaten run will make them clear favourites, especially given Barnsley's struggle to keep clean sheets. For Barnsley, a point would be a lifeline in the relegation battle, but they will need to tighten up at the back to have any chance of unsettling a side that has yet to taste defeat this season.
