The Terriers Are Wagging
A crucial Monday night victory has given Huddersfield hope and Wagner knows the importance of maintaining that momentum. This is a golden opportunity to do so.
Huddersfield’s remarkable survival mission in 2017-18 was built on several brief spells in the season when they were able to string a few results together. They can repeat the trick here and make it back-to-back victories at best odds of 27/10 with BetVictor.
Last season Town began their campaign with crucial successes over Palace and Newcastle. Fastforward two months and they suddenly beat Man Utd and West Brom in consecutive home outings.
In December they won twice in three attempts against Brighton and Watford. Then after another slump they suddenly defeated Bournemouth and West Brom consecutively. Even at the very end of the season they secured survival with heroic consecutive away draws at Chelsea and Man City.
This a team who know how to win in brief clusters and don’t get deterred by barren runs. That’s a sign of great team spirit and the power of momentum. In contrast, West Ham haven’t won consecutive league games since January 2017 so we shouldn’t read too much into their success against Burnley last time out.
