Burnley vs Huddersfield Betting Tips

Burnley sealed local bragging rights with a 1-0 win at Ewood Park last time out and that result leaves them 3rd in the league and with solid foundations in place to mount a serious promotion challenge.

While there is nothing particularly spectacular about them, they are consistent and continue to churn out results, which is a very important quality to have in this league. The Clarets have accumulated 10 points from their last 4 league fixtures and a home game against Huddersfield provides them with an excellent opportunity to add another win and they look good value to do that at 4/5.

Huddersfield are currently 16th, which is exactly where they finished last season and is perhaps a fair reflection on their quality. They are a bottom half team but a capable side on their day and they should have enough to again beat the drop.

However it is hard to see them really causing an upset in this game. The Terriers have been fairly comfortably beaten away from home by Wolves, Hull and Cardiff already this season and have only scored 3 goals in 6 matches away from the John Smith’s Stadium.

Only 1 side in the top half has scored fewer goals than Burnley though and and most of their wins have been by a single goal. Huddersfield pushed another of the league’s stronger sides Derby County pretty close last time out losing 2-1 and this could well follow a similar course.

Burnley have won 3 games by that margin already so consider backing them to pick up another 2-1 win at attractive odds of 15/2.
