    Two sides battling it out for a place in the play-offs are set to meet this weekend and the John Smith's Stadium as third-placed Huddersfield Town welcome fourth-placed Luton Town to Yorkshire.

    They have been two of the most in-form sides in the Championship this season with both not just moving into the play-offs in recent times, but have become two of the favourites to secure Premier League promotion in a few weeks time.

    The Terriers went on a stunning run of three months without tasting defeat until recent times, and it wasn't until March where they started to slip up again.

    Nottingham Forest would beat them earlier in the month, before Millwall and Bournemouth also secured victories over the Yorkshire side.

    Huddersfield have returned to winning ways, however, as they beat Hull City last Friday thanks to a goal from Harry Toffolo. Despite the game's one goal, it was a comfortable and fairly dominant victory for the Terriers as they had a total of 23 shots towards Hull's goal.

    With Carlos Corberán's men right back in form now after a slight blip, they boast 18 wins in the Championship from 40 games, which can only be bettered by the top two sides in the league this campaign.

    Huddersfield haven't been sensational in the goalscoring department, however, as they have netted just 52 times from 40 games this season, which is the lowest of the top six clubs gunning for a Premier League spot.

    At the same time, ironically, only Luton have conceded more than them inside the play-off spots.

    Luton have also struggled a little bit within the past week after a stunning run, with them drawing 2-2 with Millwall and 1-1 against Peterborough United.

    It has now meant the club have seen their four-game winning run end, but at the same time, saw their unbeaten run extended to eight games.

    The Bedfordshire have subsequently lost track of the top three, however, and have swapped places with Huddersfield as a result and now sit fourth.

    Both sides are set to battle for the play-offs, no doubt, but with Bournemouth just a few points away, they will also have one eye on the Cherries for the final few games of the campaign.

    For this clash, however, it’s set to be a very close game against two teams who cannot afford to lose to one another.

    Forebet predicts a draw and under 2.5 goals.
