Huddersfield News and Form

Huddersfield are yet to win a league game this season. If their first were to happen on the weekend, that would be a shock, to say the least. The Terriers have just three points this season from three drawn matches and are in big trouble.

They drew with Burnley just before the international break. Their home form has seen them collect only the one point from four games and punters are hardly going to trust them here. Their last home game saw them suffer a 2-0 loss against Tottenham.

So that defeat against Spurs is a good indicator for this one. A Liverpool 2-0 correct score option is at 5/1 odds* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 4:53 pm). Huddersfield are not only looking for their first home win of the season but also their first home goal.

The option on both teams not to score has to have some value. Huddersfield have just looked extremely short in quality and they have come up with just four goals all term. They are the joint lowest scorers alongside bottom club Cardiff heading back into the weekend.

Liverpool News and Form

Liverpool drew their final two games before the international break and will be keen to break back into winning ways. They are W3 D1 away from Anfield this term in the top flight, their winning streak getting snapped in a 1-1 tie at Chelsea in their last road game.

That game at Stamford Bridge was the first time that Liverpool had failed to score two goals in an away game. Liverpool to win to nil is at 10/11 odds* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 4:53 pm) and is a popular option for Huddersfield v Liverpool betting tips. They are still waiting for their prolific front three to click into gear this term.

Mo Salah, for example, has only picked up the one goal in his last five Premier League fixture but the chances have been there. He just hasn’t been finishing them. Because they are facing a leaky defence on the weekend though, Salah is the 8/11 favourite in the anytime goalscorer market, but has just one away goal all season* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 4:53 pm).

So it may well be worth looking deeper in the market. Liverpool have shipped only the three away goals this season, two of them in the second half of matches. The Reds have been ahead at half time in three of their four road games. A Liverpool/Liverpool half-time/ full-time bet is at 5/6 odds* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 4:53 pm).

Huddersfield v Liverpool Head to Head

Liverpool had an easy time of things last season in the top flight against the Terriers. They went and produced a 3-0 win in both games against Huddersfield. Those were the first league meetings since the 1971/72 old division one season.
