- Liverpool vs Huddersfield Town Predictions: Leaky Reds Still Roll
Match Preview
The Premier League clash between Liverpool and Huddersfield Town was a regular fixture from the early 1920s through to 1954, but the pair’s last competitive meetings came in the 1971/72 season (Liverpool won both). Huddersfield Town have made a great start to life back in the top flight, losing one of their first six games and they stunned Manchester United, beating the Lancashire club 2-1 on Saturday.

Huddersfield are 11th in the table, with 12 points from nine games. Liverpool are just two places above them, with a point more, following their dreadful 4-1 beating at the hands of Tottenham at Wembley on Sunday. In the league, Jurgen Klopp’s side have won just once since their 5-0 thrashing by Manchester City in early September.
Our Liverpool vs Huddersfield Town preview suggests that the hosts may be a potent attacking force, but they are woefully short of leadership and leave defenders exposed far too often. Until this issue is cleaned up, we can expect Liverpool’s games to be largely entertaining with a few goals. We also highlight in our Liverpool vs Huddersfield Town predictions that the home side have scored in the first half at least once in six of their opening nine league games and this may be a trend worth exploring.
Liverpool vs Huddersfield Town Prediction and Betting Advice
The Reds have managed just three victories from their opening nine Premier League games this season. However, their scoring rate is double that of the Terriers, who have managed to score just seven times in that span of games. At Anfield, Pool have managed two wins followed by two draws, having been held by both Burnley and Manchester United.
Aside from an opening day 3-0 win at Crystal Palace (who have managed just two goals all season), Town have failed to score in each of their following three away games, losing 2-0 at West Ham, drawing 0-0 at Burnley and losing 2-0 at Swansea. While they are riding high at present, David Wagner’s side need to start scoring a few goals if they are to avoid a relegation battle. Saturday’s Premier League football tips have the team from Merseyside as strong favourites and while their defensive frailties are there for all to see, they are at their best going forward. They created innumerable chances against Manchester United and, having been totally embarrassed by Tottenham, will want to put matters right.
Our Liverpool vs Huddersfield Town betting tips conclude that the home team will win comfortably as their opponent’s face a backlash. Jurgen Klopp’s side are able to score in the first half bodes well for a half-time/full-time sortie and this might provide the best route to profit. Ladbrokes are overly-generous with their estimation for the Reds to be leading at the end of both halves and we advise taking that route.
You are banking on two things in this market: Pool’s inability to keep a clean sheet and their adversary’s confidence after beating Manchester United. Wagner’s side will set out their stall to defend and take a point, while Jurgen Klopp will attempt to hammer home that the Reds cannot keep conceding sloppy goals. Only five teams have conceded more goals than the home club’s 16 and three of those teams occupy three of the bottom four in the table.
The Terries have failed to find the net in three consecutive away games. However, they are powerful from set pieces and we are banking on them ending their goal drought, despite the Reds only conceding at home in one of their first four games at Anfield. This particular selection goes against the grain of statistical logic, as we prefer to believe what our eyes told us on Sunday – Liverpool are having innumerable defensive issues.
Putting our faith in both sides scoring is a stretch, given the lack of goals conceded at Anfield and the lack of goals scored away from the John Smith’s Stadium, yet the Premier League match odds are simply too big to ignore for a trend that has to reverse for both clubs at some point. William Hill appear to have priced up on stats alone, and their odds for both sides to score are enticing. This appears to be one of the more attractive Liverpool vs Huddersfield Town bets and it is with remembering that going against the grain is often a better long-term betting strategy.
