Aston Villa v Huddersfield Betting Preview

Aston Villa

Roberto Di Matteo finally got off the mark as Villa manager at the weekend and his side did it in style with a 3-0 win here against Rotherham. It was a winnable fixture for the Villains who had Rudy Gestede’s aerial power to thanks for opening strike. The Miller’s defending was reminiscent of their opponents last season in the Premier League, but Villa finally showed some quality.

To be fair, they could have got a point against Sheffield Wednesday the week before and there’s more to be positive about so far than across the whole of last season.

Jack Grealish looks like he’s left his debauched holidays behind him and is concentrating on football again. He tormented the Rotherham defence and could give Mark Hudson plenty to think about in the Huddersfield backline.

Rumours persist this week about the arrival of Mile Jedinak and the Australian would be a huge addition to the Villa midfield. He would add a non-nonsense presence which could win the club some big games this season. You get the feeling that the transfer business at the club still has plenty of mileage this summer with just under half the month left to complete any deals.

Nathan Baker won’t return to fitness in time for this game after suffering an injury against Luton.

The Centre half came off concussed and will have to be eased back in carefully. If he doesn’t make it, RDM could opt for an unchanged line up from the victory at the weekend.

The boss said the win on Saturday helped kick start their season, but he isn’t content with just three points and wants more of the same here. He says it’s essential that they light up Villa Park and give the crowd something to shout about. They desperately need some cheer.

It was also a vital clean sheet for the side who have been haphazard at the back, to put it kindly.

Huddersfield will represent stiffer Yorkshire opposition than Rotherham and the defence will need to be at their best to keep David Wagner’s side out.

Huddersfield

The Wagner revolution is in full swing in West Yorkshire! The Huddersfield fans are in good voice after 6 points from a possible 6.

A 2-1 win over Brentford was decent, but beating Newcastle by the same result at St James’ Park was mightily impressive.

It sounded like The Terriers executed their game plan perfectly as they countered the Magpies to devastating effect.

First goals of the season for Jack Payne and Nakhi Wells sealed the win and they take plenty of confidence into this match in the Midlands.

Payne started on the bench and will be hoping his winning strike earns him a start for this game. Kasey Palmer is another one who could be drafted into the starting 11 as back to back matches take their toll on smaller squads.

Dean Whitehead is back from his ban, but Harry Bunn and Phillip Billing are definitely out.

It’s a tough start for Huddersfield but they’ve breezed through so far and they need to continue that momentum. Wagner demands hard work from his team and he has mixed up the training schedule so his players should be ready and fresh for this clash.

The German has certain methods which partially got across to the players last season, but after having a whole summer shaping and remoulding the squad to his liking his side are starting to shine.

A victory at Villa Park would equal their best start to a season since 1979 and the travelling fans will be roaring their side on.
