“Wrexham, on the other hand, have generally been quite consistent this season and are still in with a real shout of getting into the top two and going up automatically.

“HTAFC have lost a few matches over recent times to the likes of Northampton Town, Peterborough United and Wigan Athletic which shows they are beatable. For that reason, I think Wrexham will edge it, although it will be a close one.”
Prediction: Huddersfield Town 1-2 Wrexham

“Huddersfield Town will feel they have to win this if they’re going to have any chance of catching the top two over the final stages of the season. It feels like an ambitious goal anyway, but losing three points to 3rd placed Wrexham would really dent their slim hopes.
“The Red Dragons drew with Bolton Wanderers last time out and while it might not be the most inspiring result it keeps them ticking over fairly well in the bid to catch the top two.
“It makes this one a tough game to call, but I can actually see this ending level again. Once more, it’s not a bad result for either, but it doesn’t do an awful lot in their respective bids to catch those above them.”
