Huddersfield vs Watford – After the World Cup break, Huddersfield will resume their demanding schedule when they host Watford in the 23rd round of the Championship on Saturday afternoon. Watford is currently in fifth place.
The Terriers were helpless in last weekend’s 1-0 loss to Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. In the 90 minutes of play in Sheffield, Mark Fotheringham’s team made just four total efforts, failing to pose any threat to the Blades.
The hosts have traditionally had trouble scoring goals since the season’s beginning. With 19 goals scored in 22 games, they have one of the poorest scoring records in the division.
Four points behind 23rd-placed Blackpool in the league standings, Huddersfield is still at the bottom of the standings. Although we must admit that the visitors did not perform well in their matchup with Hull last weekend, the hosts are also huge underdogs here against Watford.
Ismaila Sarr, the Hornets’ standout player, was absent since he was granted some time to recover from his World Cup exploits as he guided Senegal to the R16 match against England this month in Qatar.
Only six of Watford’s 22 league games this season have they lost. With 22 goals conceded, they have one of the greatest defensive records in the league, making this a very difficult battle for Huddersfield.
Huddersfield vs Watford – Betting Analysis
This season, especially since Slaven Bilic took over as manager, Watford has proven to be incredibly difficult to handle. In five of their last six games across all competitions, Huddersfield has failed to score a goal (including a 0-2 loss to Greek side Olympiakos in the friendly).
With Watford to win & Under 2.5 goals FT bet at the 4.00 odds, the value is excellent. Watford’s 0-1 triumph is a longshot option for those who like the accurate score bets at odds of 6.50.
