Bookies column: Huddersfield Town clash hard to call

May 1 2009 by Dougie Thomson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

NEITHER Leyton Orient nor Huddersfield have anything to play for as the League I season reaches its final day, so tomorrow’s clash is probably going to be remembered most for being Andy Booth’s last appearance.

With little riding on the contest, the bookies are struggling to call it; Victor Chandler chalking both sides up at 6/4 for victory and Betdaq making Town 17/10.

However, as this is set to be a relaxed end-of-season affair, plenty of punters will opt for the draw (12/5, Stan James) and a high-scoring one at that, meaning Jaxx.com’s 14/1 for it to finish 2-2 might attract cash.

Nevertheless, as Lee Clark’s men have won four on the bounce away from home they have to be fancied for the points, especially against an O’s outfit who perform better on the road than on their own patch.
