Crystal Palace v Huddersfield Betting Tips
There hasn’t been a great deal of movement from Palace over the summer and that is because they spent a lot in the January transfer window. They have brought in Ruben Loftus-Cheek on load and spent £8 million on Jairo Riedewald. The question really is, does Frank de Boer really has enough of what he wants at the club as he moves them to a 3-4-3 formation? They may turn out to be a very solid attacking side actually if they can get this working. They have the quality of course with Yohan Cabaye and Christian Benteke there who they have managed to hold on to. Benteke is the outright favourite at 6/5 in the Unibet anytime goalscorer market for this one with Wilfried Zaha at 12/5. Each of the last four meetings between Palace and Huddersfield at Selhurst Park have ended in a draw. The last time they were together was in the 2012/13 Championship. A 1-1 correct score option at Unibet returns a good price of 6/1.
There could be goals in his one and over 2.5 goals at Unibet is well worth a punt at 11/10. Huddersfield had to make changes over the summer in bolstering their squad and quickly brought in eight new faces including Tom Ince and Steve Mounie. They are expected to end up in a relegation scrap still, but they have given themselves a good chance with the summer moves, of staying afloat. Their head to head form over Palace is pretty good actually as they have lost just one of their last twelve against the Eagles but then there have only been the four games since 2000 and the Terriers are W1 D2 L1 in that so it’s all even there. The exciting Mounie is a 3/1 anytime goalscorer option for them with Elias Kachunga, who they have managed to sign full time, at 4/1. A point wouldn’t be a bad result in this one for them, but Palace are looking set to be an attacking side this term.
