HUDDERSFIELD Town are back in the bottom three after defeat at Blackburn, but encouragingly, they’re out at 6/4 with BetVictor to occupy one of the two remaining relegation places, partly because they have a comparatively favourable run-in.
The first of a trio of crucial assignments is at home to Millwall tomorrow.
And with more to play for than the Lions, Mark Robins’ charges are bet365’s 7/5 favourites for the points while the visitors are a 2/1 shot at Skybet.
Stan James post 12/5 against it finishing all square at the John Smith’s Stadium, where it’s 19/2 via BetVictor to be goalless, as it was when the pair last met here in the 2010 League I play-offs, and Ladbrokes offer 9/2 about scores being level at the end of each half.
Those of a Town persuasion treading carefully can tackle Stan James’s 8/11 marked against the home side in the ‘draw-no-bet’ market.
But Town’s need is greater and for punters expecting that to prove pivotal, bet365 make Robins’ team 3/1 to come out on top by a one-goal margin.
William Hill chalk Town up at 7/1 to card a 1-0 triumph but for the bold, there might be some mileage in a bet on Mark Robins’ side in Paddy Power’s handicaps, where the hosts are a 4/1 chance starting from a goal behind.
More specifically, Coral quote Town at 22/1 to finish on the right side of a 3-1 scoreline and Stan James rate Robins’ men at 3/1 to be in front when the referee brings each half to a close.
Finally, in attack, Jermaine Beckford is already the most popular choice, at 5/1, in bet365’s first scorer betting and BetVictor price the opener at 17/20 to be struck by any Town player.
