With just five rounds of matches remaining in the Championship season, it is nerve-racking at both ends of the table. At the dangerous end of the table, the fight for survival is still far from decided.
One of the teams very much in the dogfight at the bottom is Huddersfield Town, who visit Reading on Tuesday evening.
While the visitors are dangerously close to the bottom three, Reading are eight points clear of the drop zone. The Royals are all-but safe from the drop. Another victory here should be enough to preserve their Championship status for next season.
Mark Bowen’s team looked set to be dragged into the relegation battle after three league games without a win. However, a 5-0 humiliation of another struggler Luton town last time out made things look far more positive for the home team.
That win last time out will certainly have lifted spirits and they will expect to record a second straight league win over the visitors.
One of the aspects of the Royals game that Bowen needs to improve is their home record in the Championship. The team from Berkshire has won just once in their last eight league matches at the Madejski Stadium.
Huddersfield could be facing a second straight relegation if results don’t improve soon, as the team from Yorkshire are just two points from the bottom three. A record of just one win in their previous five Championship games explains their perilous position in the table.
However, there have been signs of improvement from the Terriers of late, as they have picked up four points from a possible six after a win at Birmingham and a draw at home against play-off chasing Preston.
Forebet predicts that Reading will record a victory in a low-scoring game, which could make things very tense for the visitors in the weeks to come.
