David Wagner saw his Huddersfield team take the lead at Hillsborough before Sheffield Wednesday rallied late to win the game 3-1. Nevertheless, the German will have been encouraged by elements of Town’s performance and will now be focused on getting something from Saturday’s clash against Middlesbrough.
Bet365 offer 11/4 about a victory for the Terriers, with the Yorkshire side sitting just above the relegation zone although Middlesbrough look to be one of the stronger teams in the Championship.
The away win has been chalked up at even money (Stan James) and you can get 12/5 (BetVictor) that the clash ends all square.
Wagner will certainly be looking for his team to defend manfully, with Under 2.5 Goals looking likely at odds of 4/6 (Paddy Power) and you might even consider Under 1.5 Goals at 9/4 (William Hill) considering that Boro are not particularly adventurous on the road.
Indeed, the most likely Huddersfield winning scoreline is 1-0 and the Terriers are 9/1 (Ladbrokes) to achieve this and end a run of five games without a win. Perhaps Nahki Wells is the man to deliver the telling punch, with the former Bradford striker 9/1 (Winner.com) to break the deadlock against a team sitting third in the table.
Sky Bet offer 14/1 that Middlesbrough lead at half-time before Town peg back their opponents to land a draw at half-time, while the more confident home supporter can get 13/2 (Stan James) that their side lead at the interval and at the final whistle. Wagner will certainly hope for an assertive display from his new charges.
Both teams scored at Hillsborough and BetVictor have 20/21 that this happens again on Saturday, although Ladbrokes have 17/20 that this doesn’t occur and one has the feeling that a single goal could settle this contest. If you think the net won’t bulge throughout the ninety minutes, then No Goalscorer is 8/1 with William Hill.
