Match preview: Terriers v Owls

8 December 2020

The Owls will be aiming to put the disappointment of Saturday’s trip to Norwich behind them with a quickfire return to action in midweek at Huddersfield.

A resolute and well-organised Wednesday side frustrated the league leaders at Carrow Road on Saturday and had the lead through Josh Windass.

But Tony Pulis’ side were undone by two late strikes that turned the game on its head.

The Wednesday manager has called for more composure and belief late in games to grind out results when under pressure.

The Terriers are comfortable in mid-table heading into Tuesday’s clash with Wednesday.

Carlos Corberan has steered his side to two wins from their last three outings, both coming on home soil against Middlesbrough (3-2) and QPR (2-0).
