Following their relegation back to the Championship, Huddersfield Town will be looking to kick start their season in the best way possible when they host Derby County.
One of the main reasons behind Huddersfield’s relegation was their lack of goals. In 38 Premier League games, the Terriers only managed to find the back of the net on 22 occasions – not enough to warrant top tier status.
The situation at Derby also isn’t a straight forward one. Following the departure of Frank Lampard, Phillip Cocu has been tasked with the job of taking the Rams back into the Premier League.
The club have spent 11 years away from the top flight and since then they have been involved in three different play-off campaigns.
Cocu, who is the clubs first non-British manager, will be looking to change that as Derby once again hunt promotion.
The last time Derby and Huddersfield locked horns, the game finished in a respectable 1-1 draw. However, the last time these two sides met at John Smith’s Stadium, it was the Terriers who came away 1-0 winners.
What’s more, when looking at the pre-season form of both teams, it’s Huddersfield who can boast more impressive results. Wins over the likes of Greuther Furth, Hamburg SV and Doncaster were followed by a 1-1 draw with Montpellier.
Derby, on the other hand, have been on the wrong side of three recent defeats to Bristol City, Girona and most recently, Rangers.
The bookmakers certainly haven’t been impressed with those results and therefore, they have made Huddersfield the favourites at 11/10.
That is a decent outright price however, our recommendation takes things one step further. Our advice is to back the Terriers to win but only by a margin of one goal. This is currently priced at 3/1.
