Huddersfield Town team overview
Huddersfield are viewed as one of the leading third-tier contenders for promotion back to the Championship, eager to improve on last season’s underwhelming 10th-place finish, and early signs from the 2025-26 campaign suggest they have the quality to push for the top spots.
After cruising to emphatic league victories over Leyton Orient (3-0) and Reading (2-0) before edging past Leicester City on penalties in the EFL Cup, the West Yorkshire outfit tasted their first setback of the season at the weekend as they fell in a five-goal thriller away to Blackpool.
What has stood out for the Terriers in the early stages of the season is their lethal attacking line, having netted 2+ goals in each of their first four competitive fixtures, and they look set to maintain that scoring momentum as they hunt for a swift return to winning ways.
Manager Lee Grant is pleased that his team will travel to face one of League One’s unbeaten sides at full strength, with no injury or suspension concerns.

Doncaster Rovers team overview
Doncaster ended their three-year spell in the fourth tier last season by clinching the League Two title, and they now appear determined to make an impact and establish themselves as genuine contenders for promotion to the English second division.
Frankly, Grant McCann’s side have been a breath of fresh air in the early stages, and it remains to be seen if they can sustain this form after navigating the opening three League One fixtures unbeaten — edging past Exeter and Mansfield with narrow 1-0 and 2-1 victories before settling for a 1-1 draw with Wycombe.
Between their league fixtures, the Rovers took centre stage in the EFL Cup midweek, producing a dominant display as they humbled Championship side Middlesbrough 4-0 at the Riverside Stadium, booking their place in round two of the competition.
Jamie Sterry remains Doncaster’s sole absentee heading into matchweek four after breaking his cheekbone on the opening day, with his return date still unknown, and Owen Bailey is set to cover at right-back.

Prediction
This is an extremely tough match to call, as Huddersfield boast a strong squad on paper and the advantage of playing at home, yet Doncaster cannot be underestimated, having started the new season impressively and possessing the tools to trouble any opponent. The Rovers may have remained unbeaten across the opening four fixtures of the season, but they are set for a stern examination against the Terriers, who look ruthless in front of goal and can tear through opposing defences with relative ease. One factor in Doncaster's favour is their unbeaten record against Huddersfield dating back to 2005, spanning nine meetings with four wins, but much has changed since then, and it would not be surprising to see Grant McCann's side lay down their guns at the Accu Stadium. All in all, an exciting and closely fought encounter is anticipated, featuring opportunities for both sides, but Huddersfield may muster enough offensive threat to secure a slim win, inflicting the Rovers’ first defeat of the season.
Three Reasons we expect Huddersfield Town to Win
- Huddersfield have won both of their home matches in the new season.
- Huddersfield have scored 2+ goals in all of their opening four competitive matches.
- Doncaster have never beaten Huddersfield in West Yorkshire in league encounters.
