Huddersfield hosts Nottingham in round 3 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, September 25th at Kirklees Stadium (Huddersfield)
It's amazing how the team that recently played in the English Premier League may show such a game in recent seasons. I mean Huddersfield, which seriously slowed down after relegation from the elite and showed very weak results in the lower division. By the way, according to the results of the last Championship, Town was only three points ahead of the relegation zone. And the team almost forgot how to score goals in the last rounds, having failed to upset the opponents’ goalkeepers in matches with Sheffield Wednesday, Luton, Reading, Preston, Wigan, Leeds, etc. In the new season, the hosts of this match cannot get out of the attacking hibernation. The Terriers didn’t manage to score against Brentford (0:3) and Norwich (0:1) in the starting matches of the regular season, as well in the League Cup match against Rochdale (0:1).

As for Nottingham, the many-time champion of England with a glorious past finished the previous competition with much better self-discipline. It was very disappointing not to get into the promotion playoffs only because of worse additional indicators compared to Swansea. Nevertheless, Forest was among the top five teams of the Championship in terms of defense, having conceded 50 goals in 46 meetings.
Yes, the Foresters have also started the new season unsuccessfully. Probably, they still cannot cope with psychological trauma after a real tragedy in the last Championship. However, Nottingham’s rivals were of a quite high level (QPR and Cardiff), and you can’t compare them with weakened Huddersfield. It’s hard for the Terriers even to shoot on the opponent’s goal, not to mention hitting it. In light of all the above, I think the hosts will not score more than one goal.
Prediction for the match: Huddersfield to score under 1.5 goals
