Huddersfield v Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips and Predictions

Football betting tips for Huddersfield Town v Sheffield Wednesday this Saturday afternoon in the Sky Bet Championship.

Huddersfield Town look a much better outfit these days under new manager Chris Powell. The Terriers were bottom of the table when Powell took charge but after three months they sit fairly comfortable in 16th position.

After years of struggling to stay in the Championship, Sheffield Wednesday finally look settled under Stuart Gray and also sit mid-table in the league in 13th. However a run of 10 games without a win in all competitions has left The Owls needing a victory.

As expected with their good home form, Huddersfield are 5/4 favourites. The best odds available on a draw between the two sides is 5/2 and a big away win for Sheffield Wednesday is best-priced 12/5.

The form guide doesn't lie and Huddersfield are definitely in better form than their opponents, winning three and losing none of their last five home games. The Terriers have actually lost their last two games away against high-flying Derby and resurgent Fulham but their last home game was an impressive 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest. It seems that John Smith's Stadium is becoming something of a fortress and you'd expect an out-of-sorts Sheffield Wednesday to taste defeat there. Huddersfield to win at 13/10 is my first tip.

Wednesday shouldn't be too discouraged however – they are unbeaten in their last three trips to the John Smith's Stadium, winning two and drawing one. They will also take solace in the fact that Huddersfield have only scored four goals in their last nine home games against Sheffield Wednesday, never scoring more than one a game in this run. On their day they are a very capable team and I'm sure this contest will be a close one. I'm backing a narrow home win but I think Wednesday will at least score. A home win and both teams to score is 10/3 and is my second betting tip.

One of the keys to Huddersfield's upturn in form has been the talented Bermudan forward Nahki Wells, an impressive part of the team since his move from Bradford earlier this year. Wells has scored five goals in his last six games and you wouldn't bet against him doing it again this weekend. Nahki Wells to score at anytime is 13/8 and is my final betting tip.
