Huddersfield vs West Ham United Predictions

Huddersfield, along with Newcastle, went into gameweek 11 of the 2018/19 Premier League campaign yet to win a league match, and after Newcastle’s victory on Saturday the pressure was on David Wagner’s team heading into their Monday night hosting of Fulham.

Fortunately for their pride as well as their position in the table, The Terriers managed to take all 3 points off a dismally out of form Fulham side at the John Smiths Stadium. This lifted them up to 18th in the table, but there is no denying the fact that they are still very much up against it this season.

Huddersfield have taken just 6 points from a possible 33, and they have scored a league low 5 goals so far. They have lost 5 of their last 7 in the Premier League, and their goal against Fulham on Monday was their first home goal in the Premier League since the middle of April.

Now, they come up against a West Ham side who are almost entirely unpredictable. The Hammers picked up a fantastic 4-2 win over Burnley last weekend, but they have regularly driven their fans into a frustrated fury this term.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men sit in 13th position currently, which actually isn’t too bad considering they lost their opening 4 games of the campaign. Since that run ended they have won 3, drawn 2, and lost 2 of their 7 games, including a draw against Chelsea and a 3-1 win against Manchester United.

Away from home West Ham have only won once this season, but on paper this is by far the easiest away match they will have played this term. The Terriers have lost 3 of their 6 home games this season, only picking up points against the 2 teams that sit below them in the table.

Whatever happens, we’re not expecting much in the way of end to end football here. At least 1 side has kept a clean sheet in each of Huddersfield’s last 11 home Premier League games, and West Ham have seen both teams get on the scoresheet in just 6 of their 11 league games this season.

Additionally, both teams have scored in just 1 of the last 5 meetings between Huddersfield and West Ham, so backing Both Teams Not to Score on Saturday, along with a 1-0 win for West Ham, looks the best option.
