Andre Breitenreiter, the manager of Huddersfield Town, is urging his team to go out fighting and have a say in the Championship’s promotion race this upcoming weekend. Despite effectively being relegated following a draw with Birmingham City, Breitenreiter wants his players to maintain their professionalism and end the season on a high note against Ipswich Town.
While it is inevitable that Huddersfield will drop to League One, Breitenreiter is focused on ensuring his team performs well in their final game. He believes that by giving it their all, they can potentially impact the promotion battle, even if it means helping local rivals Leeds United on their quest to reach the Premier League.
Leeds will be entering the final day with something at stake, and a surprise win for Huddersfield could see their rivals promoted automatically. With the pressure off and their fate sealed, Breitenreiter wants to see his team play with the belief that they can still make a difference in the Championship.
Despite knowing that they’ll be playing in the third tier next season, Huddersfield will look to cause problems for Ipswich, as they’ve proven capable of taking points off top teams throughout the campaign. Breitenreiter is determined to see his side finish the season on a positive note and then focus on individual assessments and planning for the future.
Although Huddersfield have struggled this season, Breitenreiter’s guidance since taking over in February has been commendable. The team will join Rotherham United in League One next season, with one more team facing relegation on the final day.
Ipswich’s fate will depend on their result against Coventry on Tuesday night, but a win there could see them secure promotion. The final day promises to be full of drama and intrigue as teams fight for their place in the Premier League.
