Watford to Win
Watford were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw at home by Hull City when they resumed their Championship assault last weekend, though the Hornets should be able to muster the right response at the first time of asking when they visit Huddersfield on Saturday. Town are still rock bottom of the league and their loss to Sheffield United last time out was their 12th defeat of the campaign. Expect them to come unstuck again here.
Under 2.5 Goals
As one of the division’s prime relegation-candidates, Huddersfield tend to play with a defensive mindset, especially at home, where few of their games generate much excitement. Indeed, eight of their 11 home games in the Championship this season have delivered two or fewer goals and their risk-averse style of play could produce another game of few chances when they host Watford.
First Half Result – Draw
Huddersfield’s penchant for keeping things tight for as long as possible has been reflected in their first-half results this term and eight of their 11 home fixtures have been all square at the interval. In addition, seven of Watford’s 11 away tests since the summer have been deadlocked at the break and a stake on a draw in the half time result markets appeals again here at the prices on offer.
Huddersfield vs Watford News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Saturday’s Championship clash between Huddersfield and Watford below.
Huddersfield
Huddersfield could be without three defenders this weekend, further hampering their chances of success. Oliver Turon, Yuta Nakayama and Matty Pearson are all absent, while attacker Patrick Jones is also missing with a hamstring injury. Town are already six points adrift of safety in the Championship table.
Watford
Kortney Hause is a big-name absentee for Watford in defence and the defender won’t be back again until January. In midfield, Daniel Gosling, Imran Louza and Tom Cleverley make up a trio of high-profile absentees. The Hornets will be hoping to show more thrust on Saturday than they showed in last week’s 0-0 draw with Hull.
