Fulham vs Huddersfield Town Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview
Huddersfield Town travel to face Fulham in the Championship this Saturday. Read the match predictions to find out why Huddersfield are the betting tip to get 3 points at Craven Cottage. Fulham slipped to 14th after losing 1-0 away at Aston Villa last weekend and will be looking to bounce back in front of their own fans. Meanwhile, Huddersfield got back to winning ways and moved up to 3rd with a 1-0 win at home to Derby, courtesy of a late Elias Kachunga strike.
Fulham vs Huddersfield Town Preview
Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic will be without Chelsea loanee Tomas Kalas who is sidelined with a hamstring problem. Tom Cairney and Floyd Ayite made their respective returns from the bench against Villa and will be pushing to start. Denis Odoi could be preferred to Ryan Fredericks at right-back while Ryan Sessegnon should get the nod ahead of Scott Malone at left-back.
Huddersfield are set to make a few changes with Aaron Mooy likely to come into midfield for the suspended Jonathan Hogg and Michael Hefele to replace Mark Hudson in central defence. Joe Lolley has been ruled out until January after undergoing surgery on a foot injury and joins long-term absentee Joe Murphy on the sidelines.

Fulham vs Huddersfield Town Prediction
Fulham have unusually been playing better away from home than in front of their home fans this season. It’s been 6 games without success at Craven Cottage and you can sense the frustration among the supporters. The hosts come into this one with a solitary win away to Barnsley from the previous 10 matches. They produced a good fight-back to draw 2-2 with Norwich in their last home match but couldn’t take that momentum with them to Aston Villa.
Huddersfield don’t look the most convincing side on the road but have won away at Newcastle, Leeds and Ipswich this season. They had a dip in form when losing 1-0 at home to Sheffield Wednesday and ran into a form side when losing 3-1 away to Preston North End. Last weekend’s dramatic late victory against Derby will have put the wind back in their sails and they’ll be keen to build momentum to remain in the hunt for automatic promotion.
Fulham tend to let a goal in and haven’t kept a clean sheet in 10 matches while Huddersfield’s lofty league position has been built on a sturdy defence and they’ve registered 4 shutouts in the same period. I fancy this to be a cagey affair which could develop into a tactical duel, which Huddersfield can edge.
