All you need to know ahead of our next Sky Bet Championship fixture
- Huddersfield Town vs Blackburn Rovers
- 12.30pm kick-off at the John Smith’s Stadium
- Available to watch on iFollow HTAFC
Completing a busy Easter weekend, the Terriers will continue their Sky Bet Championship campaign on Monday 10 April at the John Smiths Stadium, welcoming Blackburn Rovers; 12.30pm kick-off.
While the visitors come into the fixture on the back of a two-nil home defeat to Norwich City on Good Friday, it was a much better result for Town, who saw off Watford 3-2 at Vicarage Road.
THE OPPOSITION
This is Blackburn’s fifth consecutive season in the Sky Bet Championship after the five time FA Cup winners were relegated into Sky Bet League One following the 2017 season. Not a long stay in the third tier, Rovers found themselves promoted back to the Sky Bet Championship at the end of the following season.
Pushing for promotion, the Lancashire side currently sit sixth in the Championship table within the Play Off places, currently an improvement on their 8th place finish at the end of last season.
Formerly a Danish international, Jon Dahl Tomasson has been at the helm since July 2022 following the departure of Tony Mowbray. Following previous managerial careers at Roda JC Kerkrade and Malmö FF, he joined Blackburn Rovers on a three-year deal.
