Huddersfield Town Preview – Can the Terriers pick up a surprise win?
Huddersfield Town started their season with a Carabao Cup win at Sheffield Wednesday. After a 0-0 draw in normal time at Hillsborough, the Terriers beat the EFL League One outfit 4-2 on penalties to go through to round two.
A week later, Town kicked off their 2021-22 Championship campaign with a 1-1 draw with Wayne Rooney’s Derby County at Pride Park. Curtis Davies opened the scoring for the Rams, but Mahamadou-Naby Sarr levelled for the Terriers on the stroke of half time.
After a disappointing campaign last time around, can Huddersfield keep themselves away from trouble this term? A positive result against the title favourites on Saturday will signal a good start to their season. The hosts are priced at 7/2 to get the three points from this one.
Fulham Preview – Cottagers to return to west London with all three points?
Before a ball was kicked, Fulham were the red-hot favourites for promotion. However, Marco Silva’s men were held to a 1-1 draw by Neil Warnock’s Middlesbrough on the opening weekend.
£12m man Harry Wilson opened the scoring for the Cottagers with an excellent low drive, but Warnock’s dogged Boro stuck at it and equalised in the 77th minute to get a share of the spoils. The away team finished the stronger and could have even won it.
