Bookmakers believe Huddersfield Town will avoid relegation from the Championship under David Wagner.

That’s despite a run of five defeats and a draw in the last six games and a slide into the dreaded bottom three.

With 28 games to go - starting at sixth-placed Birmingham City on Saturday, where Wagner will be in charge for the third time - Skybet rate Town a 9/4 shout to be in League I next season.

The Football League sponsors think Rotherham United (8/15), Bolton Wanderers 4/7), Charlton Athletic (5/6) and MK Dons (7/4) are all more likely to go down.

It was MK Dons’ goalless draw at Wolves on Saturday which left Town third-bottom, above Rotherham and Bolton.

Rotherham, below Town only on goal difference, have won their last two going into Saturday’s home meeting with Wolves.
