Huddersfield v Watford Betting Tips – Premier League 14th April 3.00pm

The Terriers are just doing enough to keep themselves out of the drop zone, collecting a point in a big clash out at Brighton last weekend. They have a four-point cushion between themselves and the bottom three and are not out of the woods yet though. Watford’s inconsistent season rolls on with three defeats in their last four games and you just never know what you are going to get from the Hornets.

Huddersfield News and Form

Big game coming up for Huddersfield on the weekend. This one against Watford and then against Everton following it may be their last chances at points. That is because their last three games are away at Man City, away at Chelsea and home against Arsenal. That is a massively tough finish so they have to come up with something in this. Huddersfield earned a 1-1 draw at Brighton last weekend and that pushed them out to a five-match winless streak of form (D2 L3) in the top flight. In their last three at home they are W1 D1 L1 and on home soil, they have produced a W5 D5 L6 record this season. They have had their problems putting the ball in the back of the net and have only come up with 15 goals in their 16 home games. They have kept a clean sheet in just 19% of their home games. It is hard to see how this is going to end up as a high scoring game and under 2.5 goals at BetVictor is at 4/6 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 11:44 p.m. on April 9th, 2018). Of Huddersfield’s home goals this season, two-thirds of them have been in the first half of matches. They have scored just five second-half goals all season at home.

Watford News and Form

Watford are so difficult for punters to back. One minute they look great when they did in hammering Chelsea and the next they are slipping to a home loss against Burnley. So it is hard to read just what they are going to produce on the day. Watford are in terrible away form really, losing their last three on the bounce away from Vicarage Road and they have managed just a D1 L8 in their last nine away games. That’s one point out of 27 available. So that’s poor and they scored in just two of the nine games in that sequence as well. Huddersfield to win to nil with BetVictor is at 10/3 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 11:44 p.m. on April 9th, 2018) may offer a little bit of attempting proposition for punters, therefore. In the correct score market, the 1-1 draw is the shortest-priced option at 11/2* (Betting Odds taken at 11:44 p.m. on April 9th, 2018). Watford have shipped 62% of their away goals in the second half of matches this season and are just averaging over a goal per game on their travels.

Huddersfield v Watford Head to Head

Not many punters would have called a 4-1 away win for the Terriers when they went to Watford earlier in the season. Huddersfield have won three of the last four games against Watford now, including the last two. The Terriers have only won one of their last four on home soil against them though (L3). Even more of a surprise is that each of the last four meetings have produced at least four goals and each of the last nine have gone over 2.5 goals.

Huddersfield 17/10, Watford 19/10, Draw 11/5* (Betting Odds taken at 11:22 p.m. on April 9th, 2018)

Huddersfield v Watford Predictions

Draw: Tough to pick a winner out of this. Watford are just unreliable and are out of form again. Huddersfield knows how to scrap things out as seen last weekend and a point here could just help nudge them towards safety at the end of the season. They can’t afford to lose a home game against a side out of form right now. Draw.
