Huddersfield Town<\/a> travel to the Madejski Stadium to face Reading<\/a>. Danny Cowley\u2019s side are hoping to take another step towards Championship<\/a> safety with victory in Berkshire.<\/p>\n

Huddersfield Town\u2019s Survival Charge Takes Them to Reading<\/h2>\n

The Royals Are Hoping to Build on Their Impressive Win<\/h3>\n

Reading were rampant in their last league game. The Royals destroyed Luton Town as Mark Bowen\u2019s side released their frustration following a string of poor results and performances.<\/p>\n

Yakou Meite<\/a> terrorised Luton and scored four excellent goals. Mark Bowen will hope to see more from him and George Puscas<\/a> who ended his long goal drought.<\/p>\n

The Reading manager will be targeting consecutive league wins for the first time since December. Mark Bowen\u2019s team will be pushing for a top half finish. They are three points adrift of Bristol City<\/a> in twelfth place.<\/p>\n

Mark Bowen may stick with the same eleven which put Luton to the sword. He may five changes for that game including three of his back four. Meite will lead the line hoping to add to his twelve league goals.<\/p>\n

Momentum Building With Huddersfield Town<\/h3>\n

Its been an excellent few days for Danny Cowley and his team. The Terriers thrashed Birmingham City<\/a> and followed that up with a hard-fought draw against play-off hunting Preston North End<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Four points from their last two games have given Danny Cowley something to build on. More importantly, the Terriers have kept consecutive clean sheets something they have struggled with all campaign.<\/p>\n

Danny Cowley\u2019s team can move five points clear of the relegation if they collect a second straight away win.<\/p>\n

Cowley rotated his side for Saturday\u2019s draw with Preston. Arsenal<\/a> loanee Emile Smith-Rowe was dropped to bench and is pushing for a recall.<\/p>\n

Prediction<\/h3>\n

A game of huge significance for both sides. Reading are pushing for a top half finish while Huddersfield are fighting to ensure their Championship status.<\/p>\n

The Royals are targeting back to back wins. The Terriers are looking to extend their unbeaten run to three matches<\/p>\n
