Derby v Huddersfield Championship Predictions & Betting Odds – 17th April 2017
This isn’t an easy game for Huddersfield out on the road against a side who have found a bit of winning form at home. Derby’s slump in the second half of the seasons means that they are going to miss out on a play off spot, but they could throw a spanner in the works of Huddersfield’s push to secure third place in the Championship.

Derby v Huddersfield Betting Tips
The Rams really should have had a shot at the play-offs this season but their patchy form since February has pretty much put paid to that. However, they have been on the up in general lately and they are on a two-match winning streak at home in the Championship. They have remained unbeaten on home soil in their last five at Pride Park (W3 D2) and they have lost just one of their last sixteen home games in the Championship. So the Terriers aren’t going to get an easy game out on the road in this one at all. Derby suffered a 1-0 loss at Huddersfield earlier in the campaign but the Rams have enough on home soil to perhaps reverse that. A Derby 1-0 correct score at William Hill is a good price of 11/2. It is likely that Derby are going to hold their own and force this into being a tight contest. David Nugent is trading at 2/1 in the anytime goalscorer market.
It has been a very strong campaign from Huddersfield overall but maybe a bit of pressure is creeping in as they try and secure the third spot in the table. There was a shocking 4-0 loss out at the lowly Bristol City recently and they followed that up with a defeat in their following away game at Nottingham Forest. So after back to back away defeats, the Terriers have gone W1 D1 L2 in their last four out on the road. They have just been struggling for goals a little bit lately and under 2.5 goals at William Hill is a value punt at a price of 19/20. Overall this season, the Terriers have posted a W9 D3 L8 away from home. Elias Kachunga and Nahki Wells are big positives for them in the anytime goalscorer market and both of them are trading at 2/1. Huddersfield do hold a game in hand over those around them in the play-off battle for third. They may need to up their away form though and that’s not easy in this one.

Derby v Huddersfield Predictions
Derby Home Win: We would have to roll with the home side taking the win in this one and upsetting the Terriers. The Rams have done well enough on home soil lately to spring three points in this one and they have won their last four on home soil against Huddersfield as well.
