Huddersfield v Newcastle Betting Tips

What a start it was from the Terriers who beat Crystal Palace 3-0 in their first ever Premier League game. That was a huge boost for them and now they will look to at least get a point out of this home fixture with the Magpies. Because the two of them were together in the Championship last season, there is recent head to head form to look at which is helpful. Both won their away games against the other in the Championship last season and both teams score in both games. Huddersfield though are winlesss in their last four at home against Newcastle. But after what they produced last weekend, the visit of the Magpies right now may not be too troubling for them. There could be goals in this and both teams to score is 10/11 at Coral to follow on from last season where both scored in both meetings. In the Coral Correct Score market a Huddersfield 2-1 home victory is going to return you a price of 10/1.

The exciting Steve Mounie was the star of the show for the Terriers last weekend and he is a price of 8/5 in the anytime goalscorer market for this one. Newcastle have Dwight Gayle at 7/4 and the Magpies will be targeting their first points of the season. They lost at home against Tottenham last weekend, as expected really. But the Magpies do have form going against the Terriers as they have lost just one of their last eleven games (W6 D4 L1) against the, in all competitions, that being their home game against them last term. So that head to head form may have some appeal for punters. Over 2.5 goals is a great price of 23/20 at Coral because each of the last five meetings in all competitions have seen at least three goals in them between the two. So this could be another exciting afternoon for the Terriers.
