Middlesbrough vs Huddersfield Predictions

• Middlesbrough are winless in five (D1, L4) and have lost four home games on the spin.
• Huddersfield are winless in their last seven league matches, losing five.
• The Terriers are also without a victory in their last nine away trips, losing six.

Dour Derby in Prospect at the Riverside

Both of these sides are in atrocious shape going into this Tuesday’s Yorkshire derby and punters wishing to play are advised to back a draw for small stakes.

Boro are favourites on account of the ten place gap between the sides in the table, but Neil Warnock’s men represent terrible value at odds-on after picking up just one point from their last five league starts.

The hosts have also lost their last four outings at the Riverside, so they’re given a wide berth here despite Huddersfield’s current woes.

Town surrendered a two goal lead at home to bottom side Wycombe on Saturday and the Terriers are rapidly being drawn into a relegation dogfight. Carlos Corberan’s men have claimed just two points from their last seven league matches and they travel to the north of the county this week without as win in nine on the road (D3, L6).

November’s reverse clash at the John Smith’s produced five goals as Town ran out 3-2 winners, but both sides’ current form indicates that we may well see a nervy and cramped encounter on Tuesday. It’s a game both will be desperate not to lose and the draw looks the best option at the prices.
