Huddersfield Town - Leeds United predictions and free betting tips [02/03/2024]

On Saturday afternoon, the "John Smith's Stadium" will host the West Yorkshire derby between Huddersfield Town and Leeds United. The visitors are currently in second place in the league, outperforming Ipswich Town only by goal difference. The hosts, meanwhile, are slightly above the relegation zone.

Huddersfield Town

Last game they achieved the first victory of Andreas Breitenreiter as the new head coach of the team. Huddersfield's gameplay has always been solid, but the results were not forthcoming. Now, with the mood improved, they need to build on success. 

Leeds United

The visitors are in excellent form, having already claimed 9 consecutive victories in the Championship. After beating Leicester, the team is now eyeing first place, just 6 points away. And after being knocked out of the FA Cup, they can fully focus on this goal. Patrick Bamford appeared on the bench against Chelsea and may be in the starting lineup tomorrow.

Predictions for the Huddersfield Town - Leeds United match

The visitors are the clear favourite in this game due to their scorching form. Therefore, my prediction does not depart from the most popular and logical outcome. A Leeds victory seems the most likely scenario here.

Predictions on teams' performance

In recent Leeds matches, I was not impressed by the slow pace of certain defenders. In particular, Joe Rodon and Archie Gray often did not keep up with their opposing players. Considering Huddersfield's attacking prowess, it seems likely that the hosts should at least score one goal. This makes the "both teams to score" prediction quite probable.
