Huddersfield take on the visitors Burnley in the round 1 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, July 29th at John Smith's Stadium (Huddersfield).
Huddersfield start this season with some concerns. The Terriers still remember that David Wagner breakthrough. The German unexpectedly led the team to the Premier League, and then, creating an even greater sensation, he was able to keep his wards there. But this was followed by a relegation, and only in the last draw it turned out to seriously remind of themselves. It was not possible to take a direct ticket - not only Fulham, but also Bournemouth turned out to be stronger. A 3rd place sent to the playoffs, where failure was waiting for the “Town”. After this misfire, the manager, Carlos Corberan, left. The Spaniard was replaced by his assistant, Danny Schofield. Also sold out many players, primarily defenders - O'Brien, Toffolo, Pip.

Burnley will try to return to the Premier League, but without Dyche. The Clarets called Sean to the post of head coach 10 years ago, in 2012. It was not the smoothest (even with the red-haired manager they flew out once), but definitely a successful cooperation. It even brought a sensational one-time exit from European competition. But, most importantly, with frankly weak personnel and financial capabilities, it was possible to keep the project in the Premier League. The leadership faltered only this year, when it was impossible to break out of the relegation zone. But the dismissal of the manager did not save - the club got relegated from 18th place. Well, now they need to try to return. And for this they called Kompany - a controversial choice, despite the fact that in Anderlecht Vincent did not achieve outstanding success. And now he will have to cope with the results of the traditional sale. Such key players as Mee and Tarkovsky, Hennessy and Pope, Collins and Peters, Wegorst and Lennon have already left Turf Moor.
At the beginning of the year, the clubs intersected within the framework of the cup. There Huddersfield managed to win 2-1 at Burnley. Experts see the pair as fairly evenly matched. This game should not be boring, the "over 2.0 goals" is quite expected outcome.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
