Huddersfield vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting tips
Huddersfield Town lost 1-0 to Arsenal earlier this season. On Saturday afternoon, the club from North London is again the opponent of Huddersfield Town, which has not won seven games in a row in its own John Smith’s Stadium.
Huddersfield Town:
For Huddersfield Town, there is little more to be gained this season. The Terriers are the last in the Premier League without a chance and have already been eliminated in both Cup Tournaments. In that respect, it is actually an ideal time for Jan Siewert to join The Terriers, because the German has nothing left to lose. He knows in early February that Huddersfield Town will play in the Championship next season, unless Siewert suddenly gets on the ride at Huddersfield Town. However, that seems impossible. The transfer market has been closed for over a week and Huddersfield Town already has six points less than Fulham, which is nineteenth in the competition. It is difficult to pass Fulham on the rankings, but also the nineteenth place means relegation to the Championship.
Siewert sat on the bench twice at Huddersfield Town and both duels lost the German manager. The 0-1 defeat against Everton was acidic, but not inexplicable given the quality difference. There is also some quality difference between Chelsea and Huddersfield Town, but that difference turns out to be a bit larger than previously thought. The Terriers lost 5-0 on Stamford Bridge in the previous round. It was already the thirteenth time this season that Huddersfield Town did not score and the lack of scoring ability will also cause Huddersfield Town to relegate to the Championship in the short term. The counter will only reach thirteen goals after 25 matches this season and with such numbers it will be a very difficult story not to degrade.
Arsenal:
At Arsenal they will not worry about an away match at Huddersfield Town. The Gunners are having trouble this season with clubs that rank lower than Arsenal. The problem lies with Arsenal especially in the matches against top teams. In those duels, The Gunners leave too many points and therefore they can probably whistle to Champions League qualification at the end of the season. The Gunners started the previous round as the number four of the Premier League, but Arsenal starts sixth in the coming round of games. Where Arsenal lost last weekend, Chelsea and Manchester United won their matches, meaning The Gunners now have one point less than Man United and three points less than fellow-townsman Chelsea.
Arsenal lost Sunday from Manchester City last week. Earlier this season, The Gunners in the Emirates Stadium were already completely eliminated by The Citizens and also in the Etihad Stadium, Arsenal was no match against the Dutch champions. The fact that The Gunners eventually lost only 3-1 in Manchester was amazing, as Arsenal did almost nothing. As said, it was not the first time Unai Emery’s team missed points against a Premier League top club and it was not the last time either. The shape of Arsenal in recent weeks is pretty dramatic anyway: The Gunners lost three of the last five matches. Fortunately for Emery and his team there is now a duel with Huddersfield Town on the program and in Huddersfield Arsenal can work on trust. A defeat is almost unthinkable given the quality difference.
