Huddersfield v Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips
There will be some concerns for the Terriers heading into this because their end of season form in the Championship was not good. They went W3 D1 L6 in their last ten games, losing three of their final four. So they pretty much limped their way to fifth place, so can they shake themselves out of that slump and compete in this one? The Terriers have gone an even W3 L3 in their last six on home soil and overall they posted a pretty strong W15 D2 L6 record on home soil across the Championship season. It was really their strong form from December through to the beginning of March which saw get into the play off picture. It’s been patchy since then. Huddersfield lost both games against the Owls during the regular season without scoring and 0-0 correct score at Bet365 is a price of 13/2 with a win for the Owls 1-0 at 7/1. This is probably going to be tight and under 2.5 goals comes in at a price of 3/5. Each of the last four between these at Huddersfield have gone under the goal line.
Wednesday are the ones who are clearly carrying the form at the moment having won six of their last seven. Their big winning streak was snapped with a defeat against Fulham on the final day of the regular season. But still, compare their current form to that of Huddersfield’s, and the Owls have an advantage here, so can they make the most of it? Wednesday have put together a three-match winning streak out on the road as well, going unbeaten in four. Overall on the road, this season in the Championship, Sheffield Wednesday went W9 D7 L7 which isn’t a particularly strong record, but solid enough to give the Terriers a tough time. Both teams not to score at Bet365 in this one is a price of 4/5 and that looks value while up in the anytime goalscorer market, Nahki Wells and Elias Kachunga for the Terriers are 15/8 joint-favourites, with Fernando Forestieri and Steven Fletcher at 9/4 for the visitors. Wednesday have gone W3 D1 on their last four visits to Huddersfield and they will fancy their chances of gaining a first leg advantage here.
