Bristol City vs Huddersfield Town Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Preview

This Friday night (19:45) live Sky game will have implications at both ends of the Championship table. Here we have our match preview with all the best predictions, betting tips and match stats.

It is honours even in recent meetings between this pair from their last five as both sides have won two and the other ended all square. They last met on December 10th, and it was Huddersfield who came out on top. The Terriers took the lead through Elias Kachunga only for Tammy Abraham to level for the Robins and then Nahki Wells netted to give the Yorkshire side all three points.

An 88th minute Aden Flint goal gave Bristol City a crucial three points at relegation rivals Wigan last time out. The result allowed the Robins to move out of the bottom three only for a Blackburn point at Fulham in midweek to move them back into it. 

Huddersfield made it back-to-back victories with a 1-0 success at Brentford on Saturday afternoon. A 28th minute Rajiv van La Parra goal proved the difference between the two teams.

Huddersfield have won six and drawn two of their eight away to sides in the bottom half of the table and I think they need to be backed here against a Bristol City side that have lost five of their seven at home to teams in the top eight.

When the Terriers win it tends to be by a single goal with each of their nine league away wins this season coming by a solitary strike. Take them here to win by one goal in the winning margin market.

Huddersfield to win the game

Huddersfield to win the game by one goal 

A win at Wigan last time out put an end to a run of seven games without a victory for Bristol City. They are currently occupying the third and final relegation slot though they still have five fixtures against teams in the bottom half of the table to play this season.

At their own ground, they have drawn their last two though victory over Rotherham is the one win in their last nine at Ashton Gate. They tend to struggle when entertaining better sides with just one success from their ten at home to top-half outfits.

Low scoring matches is a recent occurrence for the Robins with just one of their last six going over 2.5 goals and the last four producing a total of just five goals. This also replicates itself in home ties with five goals from their last four and none of these going over. Their last four games have seen just one first-half goal.  

It is two straight victories for Huddersfield as they try to keep the pressure on Newcastle and Brighton at the top. They sit third some six points behind the pair with a game in hand of them both.

It is ten points from their last four games away, and these three wins came against teams in the bottom half. Town have won six and drawn two of their eight away to sides outside the top 12 in the division.

Just one of their last five matches has gone over 2.5 goals with three of these games ending in the same 1-0 scoreline. On the road three of their last four have seen both teams find the back of the net. Five of their last six have seen a side strike in the last 21 minutes. 

Huddersfield to win the game

Milan Djuric (hernia) is a doubt for the game though other than that the Robins seem to have a full bill of health.

Sean Scannell (ankle) is nearing a return to the first team though Kasey Palmer (hamstring) is out until April.
