Leeds vs Huddersfield Betting Tips & Predictions

Leeds come into this game on the back of 3 straight wins which have eased the pressure on the players and manager alike and certainly killed off any lingering concerns that they might get dragged into a relegation battle. They’ve picked up a couple of impressive wins on the road at Cardiff and Blackburn over the past fortnight and their home form has been solid in recent months. They’ve lost just 1 of their last 10 matches at Elland Road which is their best run on home soil in quite a long time.

Huddersfield are 5 points worse off than Leeds and 6 points above the relegation zone but they will need at least another couple of wins to guarantee their survival. They’ve lost 3 of their last 4 matches including a 3-1 defeat at home to leaders Burnley last weekend so don’t head across Yorkshire in the best of spirits but the Terriers are always up for games against Leeds. They’ve lost 4 of their last 6 away games but there was an impressive 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest in amongst that run so they are a little unpredictable and at times look like quite a good side.

That said it is still quite surprising to see the bookmakers install Huddersfield as favourites to win this match particularly given Leeds have won their last 3 matches and have picked up their home form. Backing Leeds 0.0 Asian Handicap at 2.025 looks a smart bet here especially given they have only lost once in 4 months at Elland Road and have a fine recent record against the Terriers. Huddersfield have had more bad days than good days of late so Leeds could grab the win that will almost certainly move them into the top half.
