S.P. Read Esq: HUDDERSFIELD v FULHAM
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the Premier League game on Monday between HUDDERSFIELD v FULHAM and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
Huddersfield and Fulham are both struggling at this moment but their clash at the John Smith’s Stadium could provide plenty of thrills.
Fulham were not expected to struggle as much after spending £100m on new signings including Andre Schurrle and Jean Michel-Seri, but they have won just one of their 10 Premier League games and they come into tonight’s game on the back of a five-match losing streak including a late collapse to go down 4-2 to fellow strugglers Cardiff, whilst Bournemouth cut through them 3-0 last week.
Huddersfield are also struggling (they’re bottom of the table) although that was more expected by the markets and they have had the rougher fixtures compared to Fulham so far, with Chelsea and Manchester City as their first two games. Indeed, they have faced Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham already just 10 games into the season whilst they have also faced top half sides Everton and Leicester. With fixtures set to get easier for them and only five points covering the bottom seven teams, there is some hope for the Terriers.
However, their limitations were exposed when Watford beat them 3-0 last week and that total probably should have been even greater. It’s understandable that the market is undecided on just how many goals there’ll be given that Huddersfield have struggled for attacking fluency but there could be more goalmouth action than many think.
Fulham are yet to keep a clean sheet so far and have let in 28 goals this season, the most in the division, and despite Slavisa Jokanovic’s attempts to find the right combination – eight defenders have been used at some point, but their last four league fixtures have seen them concede 15 times.

However, going forward, they are not hopeless. Aleksandar Mitrovic has five goals so far whilst Andre Schurrle is just one behind, and Ryan Sessegnon and Jean Michel-Seri are both players with the quality to supply their forward line too. Huddersfield are yet to score a goal, but if they cannot get one past this defence then there will be serious worry and it’s worth noting that Fulham went to Cardiff, themselves struggling for goals, and lost 4-2. A sell of the third match goal looks the call with starspreads.
