West Brom vs Huddersfield Prediction 1: West Brom to win it to nil
The obvious prediction for this match is to back West Brom to win the game. That won't net you a particularly exciting price with the bookies though. As such, we've pushed things a little harder and are instead tipping the Baggies to win this match without conceding – and there are strong stats to back up such a tip. West Brom have won four of their last five home games – and each of their last two – without conceding. Huddersfield meanwhile have lost each of their last three away games – and four of their last five – without scoring. They've also blanked in each of their last two home games. It doesn't bode well for them here.
West Brom vs Huddersfield Prediction 2: Over 2.5 goals
The second of our football betting tips for this game comes from the total goals market and we're opting for an over 2.5 goals prediction. West Brom's recent form doesn't necessarily support such a prediction with just one of their last five games going north of that threshold, however, Huddersfield's recent results together with the head to head record more than make up for that. Huddersfield have seen four of their last five games go over the 2.5 goal cut off with a game average of 2.8 goals. As for the head to head record, four of the last five meetings have gone over the 2.5 mark with a staggering game average of 3.6 goals.

Check out the predicted lineups ahead of West Brom vs Huddersfield
West Brom
The big news for West Brom coming into this game remains to be their injury list with Karlan Grant and Grady Diangana two of several notable players currently unavailable. That immediately reduces their options for team rotation. Thankfully, they probably won't need to worry about that too much because they come here off the back of a solid win and, particularly at home, are very strong. An unchanged XI isn't unlikely.
Predicted lineup – Griffiths, Furlong, O'Shea, Pieters, Townsend, Molumby, Yoksulu, Wallace, Swift, Albrighton, Dike
Huddersfield
Despite a shocking away record, Huddersfield come into this game off the back of a positive display and result last time out as they drew at home to Bristol City. They didn't carry much goal threat, which is one area they might look to make changes to ahead of this game, but gave little up at the other end meaning that half of the XI is likely to remain unchanged here.
Predicted lineup – Vaclik, Pearson, Helik, Lees, Ruffels, Rudoni, Hogg, Waghorn, Koroma, Diarra, Ward

Player to watch
It is hard to look past Daryl Dike when we're talking about a standout player for this game. The West Brom attacker has scored three goals in his last three games, which happen to be each of his side's last three goals, and has generally looked to be a man approaching top form again for the first time in a while. Can Huddersfield's backline cope with him here?
