Huddersfield Town v Watford Betting Tips [17 December 2022]

Things haven’t really worked as expected for Huddersfield this season, and they are staring at relegation from the Championship. In their next game, Huddersfield will be at home to take on promotion chasing Watford. Huddersfield go into this game placed bottom of the league table with 19 points while Watford have 34 points in fifth place. Huddersfield are coming from a 1-0 loss away to Sheffield United, a second straight winless game and fourth in five league matches without scoring. As a result, Huddersfield have one win in five matches and four of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals. They have one clean sheet in the last five league matches but have conceded more than a goal in just one of their last five matches. Jointly, Huddersfield have scored the least goals in the league so far; they have 19 goals.

Watford are coming from a 0-0 draw with Hull City, the second straight goalless draw they’ve managed and they’ve failed to score in three of their last four matches. This run is threatening their promotion chase and they will be expected to stabilize it here. They however have three straight clean sheets and two wins in five matches, which is way better than Huddersfield’s performances. Watford haven’t conceded more than a goal in their last five matches, and each of their last four matches has produced under 2.5 goals with Watford scoring more than a goal in two of their last five matches. Watford are unbeaten in their last three away matches in the league.

Watford have been in a slump but will go into this game as the favorites, with Huddersfield badly struggling. Huddersfield have lately found it tough scoring goals and with Watford also not doing so well on that front, we are backing this game to produce under 2.5 goals.
