Huddersfield vs Watford Predictions

• Watford have won just two of their nine away trips
• The visitors have never kept a clean sheet at this ground
• Watford have scored 0.4 goals per away league game
• Huddersfield have won their last three home games

Terriers improving at home

There may be 11 places between these two sides in the Championship table, but this feels like a close-run clash at the John Smith’s on Saturday.

Watford haven’t done a lot wrong on the road so far this term, but they’ve won just twice in their nine away trips. That run has brought losses at Reading and Barnsley, which makes them vulnerable ahead of this visit to a ground which rarely favours them.

Watford have never kept a clean sheet in a league fixture away at Huddersfield, conceding 23 goals across their 14 visits (W5 D1 L8). The Hornets come here struggling for goals on the road, averaging 0.4 per game in their Championship away games.

Given Watford’s goal-shy form and the hosts’ run of three straight home wins we’re siding with the Terriers here. A Huddersfield win is our first prediction, followed by a 1-0 success over the low-scoring Hornets.
