Huddersfield vs Crystal Palace: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 15th September 2018
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: Kirklees Stadium

Match Preview:

After a poor start Huddersfield are already amongst the favourites to be relegated this season. Although there may be some hope for David Wagner’s side who have at least put a wound over their losses with two back to back draws. The first was a goalless affair against Cardiff but they impressed with a 1-1 fightback draw against Everton and if Wagner can convince his team to carry on that fight, they may have a chance of survival. The problem is, did the international break come at the wrong time? So far they are searching for their first win of the season.

Crystal Palace come into this game having lost their last 3 in a row. Whilst defeat to Liverpool was no shame, defeats have followed against Watford and Southampton and it is clear that the wind has been taken out of Roy Hodgson’s side since they beat Fulham on the opening day.

 

Team News:

Huddersfield: Jonathan Hogg is serving a 3 game suspension but will be back next week. Ben Hamer is still out with a knee injury

Crystal Palace: Wilfried Zaha is nearing fitness and will be assessed. Pape Souare has been missing for 3 weeks due to a muscle injury but is training again

 

Huddersfield vs Crystal Palace Head to Head:

Crystal Palace have won the last two games played away at Huddersfield.

The last 3 meetings either home or away have all ended with under 2.5 goals. 

5 of the last 6 meetings have ended with both teams not to score.

 

Huddersfield vs Crystal Palace Prediction:

Both teams are in need of a pick up but it is the home team that have improved slightly over the past few games. Palace may just find this quite a stretch if coach Wagner can get his Huddersfield team playing to their potential like some moments last season. This should be a closely contested game but we will opt for Huddersfield to come away with something from it.
