Huddersfield 31/20 to beat Brighton in Saturday’s Premier League showdown

Competition: Premier League

Market: Huddersfield to beat Brighton

Odds: 31/20 @ Bet365

The most competitive league in the world returns for yet another weekend of huge games, with clubs both at the top and the bottom of the table desperate for points. December has seen the start of the busy festive period, and with games coming thick and fast, no side can afford to enter into a poor run of form with so many points up for grabs. With this in mind, Huddersfield host Brighton on Saturday.

Huddersfield were in superb form in the league until a recent slump has seen the side drop down the table at an alarming rate. After 15 games they have won four, drawn three and lost eight times, scoring nine goals and conceding 26 along the way. Incredibly, half of their defeats have come in their last five games, with the club losing their last four matches in a row. With just 15 points, they are only five clear of the relegation zone, and they are in need of a win and a change in fortunes quickly.

Brighton have also been in good form at the start of the season only to enter into a run of games that has seen them drop down the table. After their 15 matches, they have won four, drawn five and lost six, scoring 14 goals and conceding 19 times. In their last five games they have won just once, whilst losing and drawing twice. 17 points means there is a seven-point gap between themselves and Palace, but they will want to increase this. With home advantage, we are backing Huddersfield with odds of 31/20 from Bet365.
