Manchester City v Huddersfield Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Sunday 19^th August 2018 (Kick-off 1:30 PM)

On Sunday afternoon, Manchester City host Huddersfield at the Etihad Stadium, as the reigning look to make it two wins out of two in the Premier League this season.

Pep Guardiola’s home side kicked off their title defence with a 2-0 win at Arsenal on the opening weekend of the campaign. Meanwhile, Huddersfield suffered a 3-0 defeat at Chelsea at the John Smiths Stadium.

Manchester City have become incredibly hard to beat under Guardiola, as the Citizens have lost just two of their last 39 top-flight games. City have also won 32 of their last 37 league matches, so it is fair to say this game is a daunting one for the visitors.

Huddersfield will be hoping for a repeat of the corresponding fixture of last season when the Terriers managed a goalless draw at the Etihad Stadium. However, David Wagner’s team are major underdogs to take anything from the clash.

Top Football Bookmakers

The fact that Town have won just three of their last 21 top-flight games adds to the expectation that the home side will record a big victory in this clash.

The Terriers have scored in just five of their last 18 away games in the Premier League, which has no doubt contributed to their poor away record in the top-flight.

Prediction

Home win and/or over 2.5 goals
