DESPITE a winless streak stretching back eight matches, Huddersfield Town are BetVictor’s 11/8 favourites to pick up a three-point haul as they welcome Sheffield Wednesday to the John Smith’s Stadium.

The relegation threatened Owls are 2/1 via Stan James to continue their revival by registering a fourth straight win while neutrals, mindful of the fact the Terriers have shared the spoils in their last couple, will be keen to keep bet365’s 12/5 for a stalemate on side.

Similarly, another 1-1 scoreline could be the subject of market support at 6/1 (William Hill), and cautious home fans might fancy backing their team at 4/6 in Skybet’s ‘Draw No Bet’ market.

However, while the visitors’ form has picked up of late, Simon Grayson’s men should still have the upper hand on their own patch, just as they did when the pair met at Hillsborough back in September, and those in agreement can back Town at a generous 10/3 with Ladbrokes to edge it by a one-goal margin.

Punters seeking chunkier odds can tackle bet365’s 8/1 for the Terriers to finish on the right side of a 2-1 scoreline, in a match BetVictor quote at 3/4 to produce three or more goals – while Stan James price Huddersfield at 11/4 to be in possession of a lead at the end of each half.

Town marksman Jermaine Beckford, meanwhile, has led the line for his side throughout December without finding the net but he’s 13/2 (Paddy Power) to enjoy a more productive day this time around by breaking the deadlock. That opening goal is 5/6 with Stan James to be struck by any of Grayson’s players.
