Huddersfield vs Crystal Palace: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 17th March 2018
Kick off at 3pm GMT
Venue: Kirklees Stadium

Match Preview:

Huddersfield have shown us that when they are on their game they deserve to stay in the Premier League but they are starting to make heavy weather of it and have dropped to 15th place on 31 points. Form needs to pick up or they could be fighting for survival soon.

The Terriers have not won in their last two matches and have been a side who have blown hot and cold this season not finding the consistency they need to regularly pick up the points. They remain unpredictable at home also with 5 wins, 5 losses and 5 draws.

Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace are in 18th place and come into this match having lost their last 4 games in a row. The Eagles have had numerous injuries and some incredibly tough matches having to face Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Everton in those games. Despite a nightmare season a couple of wins would dramatically change their position and there is still a realistic chance they could stay up. Although away form is poor with just 2 wins on the road this season.

Huddersfield vs Crystal Palace Prediction:

Even though Palace have lost 4 games in a row before this game they have put in some very good performances and clearly have not given up yet. This will be a tough physical encounter but we will take them on the handicap to get the win here against a side who seem much more unsettled than them.
