Huddersfield v Manchester City Betting Tips – Premier League 26th November 4.00pm
The Terriers claimed a huge home win over Manchester United this season, their biggest success of the season. This would be bigger if they could get it. The Terriers go into this one on the back of two straight wins on home soil, but their resolve is going to be seriously tested in this one. Manchester City took an away win at Leicester and collected another vicotry in the Champions League in midweek as well. It’s realistically hard to see their winning streak come to an end in this one.
Huddersfield News and Form
The Terriers have been going well at home recently in the top flight having posted back to back wins over Manchester United and West Brom. Both of those wins came by a one goal margin and all three of their home successes this term have been by the one goal margin. While the Terriers are having some real problems away from home, their home form has been pretty solid at the John Smith’s Stadium. The only visiting side to have won there this season has been Tottenham at the back end of September. Huddersfield are not a side who pack a great punch going forward and only the bottom two of Swansea and Crystal Palace have netted fewer than they have this season, as the Terriers have only the eight league goals. The question in this tough home game though is whether or not their defence can keep strong to even given themselves a chance of grabbing a winner at the other end? In the bet365 correct score market, a Man City 2-0 is the shortest priced option at 11/2. Only 33% of their home games this season have gone over the 2.5 goal line. Can they potentially pull of shock wins over both Manchester clubs this season?
Manchester City News and Form
Manchester City have shown no sign of slowing up at all as they banked a 2-0 win at Leicester last weekend to take their winning league streak to ten games. It was a game which they controlled by they needed to show a bit of patience in the match to get their goals. There was a loss for them in the game though as John Stones has gone missing with a big hamstring injury which could keep him out for up to sixth months. He has been pivotal for them in moving the ball out from the back, so how badly will he be missed? City have won all six of their away games this season in the top flight and they have been leading at half time in eight of their twelve league games this term. A Man City/Man City half time/full time bet at bet356 returns a price of 4/7. Gabriel Jesus netted again last weekend and he is the joint 9/4 first goalscorer favourite for the game alongside Sergio Aguero. City have been strong all season at the back and they have only shipped the three away goals. Manchester City to win to nil is going to have plenty of appeal in this one. City have averaged 2.7 goals per game out on the road this term and already are seven points better off than they were at this stage last season.
Huddersfield v Manchester City Head to Head
The last meeting between these two happened in last season’s FA Cup and the Terriers battled out a 0-0 home draw at the first attempt before falling 5-1 at the Etihad. Those cup games have been the only meetings between Huddersfield and Man City since they were last together in the league which was in the 1999/2000 season in the Football League Division One. Huddersfield took four points from those games.

Huddersfield v Manchester City Predictions
Man City to win: The Citizens may have to exert patience in this one on the road, but they are so good going forward they should be able to crack the Huddersfield defence, especially after it was exposed so badly against Bournemouth last weekend. An away win to nil looks a pretty reasonable shout.
