Huddersfield Town Prediction
It’s been an extremely tough campaign for Huddersfield Town who have been situated around or in the relegation zone for the majority of the season, which has seen the departure of former manager David Wagner, and they now find themselves in a real mess, being 13 points adrift of Southampton and safety ahead of this weekend’s action.
Huddersfield will look upon this fixture though as an opportunity to earn further precious points in what is quickly becoming a futile exercise in a bid to avoid almost certain relegation from the top flight, but their recent 1-0 home win against Wolves will have given The Terriers the merest glimmer of hope of Premiership survival.
To coin a phrase, “where there’s life, there’s hope”, and although they’ve lost 14 of their last 16 league matches overall, which by the way is an appalling record in any top division, their best hopes of survival are at home where they’ve beaten Fulham and Wolves along with taking points off Cardiff City and West Ham in 0-0 and 1-1 draws.
A severe lack of goals has been one of the main catalysts to Huddersfield’s failures this season, but maybe they can just keep things tight against a Bournemouth side who are no world beaters away from home in the Premier League?
- Huddersfield ended a run of 7 home defeats with a 1-0 win over Wolves
- Bournemouth have lost 4 of their last 5 matches overall in the top flight
- Bournemouth have lost their last 9 away matches on the trot
Bournemouth Prediction
Bournemouth are nicely placed in 12th spot in the Premier League under manager Eddie Howe despite also experiencing a slump in form which has seen The Cherries lose four of their last five matches overall in the top flight due to losses against Cardiff City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City.
The worrying thing for Bournemouth is that three of these four defeats were handed out to the south coast club on their travels where they possess a rather weak looking away record of 3-0-11 13/35 which includes an alarming slide in form that has resulted in Bournemouth losing their last nine away matches on the trot.
During this miserable nine-match sequence on the road, Bournemouth have conceded a total of 28 goals and have scored just 4 goals in reply, so this should certainly give Huddersfield some hope of at least scoring here, and perhaps even nick all three points.
Betting Tips Verdict
It’s do-or-die for Huddersfield now and they simply must win this match; we’ll back them with the handicap here against a very poor travelling Bournemouth outfit.
