Burnley vs Huddersfield: Preview and Prediction

Saturday 6th October 2018

England Premier League
Saturday 6th October 2018
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: Turf Moor

Match Preview:

Burnley are back! After starting the season in nightmare fashion with some injuries to players and one eye on the Europa League which they never qualified for Sean Dyche’s team are finally finding the style that made them such a formidable team last season.

Winning their last two games has taken the club from the bottom two up to 12^th place, but what has been impressive and raised eyebrows is the way Burnley have come back. It hasn’t been with a whimper or through luck after they destroyed Bournemouth 4-0 and went to Cardiff and came away with a 2-1 win, and Huddersfield look to be the perfect opponent for The Clarets to continue their new found form.

As for Huddersfield, whilst it is only the beginning of October you get a sense that the team could be heading for the Championship next season. They are bottom of the league with just 2 points so far this season and they come into this game having lost their last 3 in a row. They have conceded 16 goals, so are shipping on average 2 goals a game and 10 of those goals have been lost away from home where they have gained just 1 point from a possible 9.

Team News:

Burnley: Robert Brady should get his chance to return to the squad after a lack of match fitness. James Tarowski is a doubt for this game after suffering a groin strain in Burnley’s last match

Huddersfield: Terence Kongolo won’t return until after the international break at the earliest with a hamstring injury. Christopher Schindler is makin progress with a knee problem and may be assessed ahead of this game

Burnley vs Huddersfield Head to Head:

The last 2 meetings between the clubs have ended in the same score line of 0-0 and it has been two years since this fixture has produced a goal.

Huddersfield have not won at Turf Moor for 5 years.

The last 5 meetings have seen 3 wins for Burnley and 2 draws.

Burnley vs Huddersfield Prediction:

Burnley have really found their feet and have scored 6 goals in their last 2 games after only managing 3 in their first five. Our main bet does not have to be analysed too much because we believe that Burnley will get a win here. Not only are they the home team but the spirit of the side looks back and they are playing the bottom side who are lacking confidence and have some injury worries to key players. Burnley are an outstanding price at home to win, which reeks of value. We will also back Sam Vokes to net again at home.
