Watford - Huddersfield Town predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Huddersfield Town are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Watford should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Huddersfield who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

The latest 0:1 triumph we saw from Watford was deserved, if a bit unimpressive. They managed to meet the expectations in the previous round against Rotherham United but the mediocre first half performance raised some uncomfortable questions.

The Terriers’s previous outing in the Championship did not end in their favour. The opponents Hull City took the lead during the first half, and Huddersfield stayed behind until the very end, losing the game 1:2.

Experts have pointed at Watford’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Championship games.

Huddersfield Town’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 7 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Huddersfield Town this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

Saturday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 1.94 odds.
