Huddersfield Town top the League One standings and head the betting to be crowned champions of the third tier in 2026/27.
It's been a tremendous start to life as the permanent head coach of the Terriers for Martin Drury, who was handed the reins at the end of May following a fruitful caretaker spell.
Huddersfield have lost just one of their opening 14 league fixtures, scoring a league-high 28 goals and conceding the third-fewest, bettered only by the watertight Bradford City and impressive Oxford United.
Drury's men are unbeaten at the Kirklees Stadium and boast the best travelling record in the division, while their underlying numbers indicate their early supremacy is no fluke.
Huddersfield are top of the pile across a number of key metrics including xG difference, xG against and big chances created, and the West Yorkshire club also stake claim to arguably the best player in League One in Derensili Sanches Fernandes, who's proving to be far too good for the level since joining from Dutch side Excelsior in the summer.
After two successive seasons which have failed to live up to expectations, the Terriers finally appear to be on the right track as they aim to secure a return to the Championship and the Football Betting Club's Nick Goff is expecting Huddersfield to stay the distance in the League One title fight.
League One Outright Prediction & Tips
To Win Outright: Huddersfield Town @ 2/1
Goff explained: "By League One standards, I've got these (Huddersfield and Stockport) as two very good sides and they'd be about 14th or 15th in the Championship, so wouldn't be in a relegation battle.
"There is strength in depth in this division. Luton are pretty good, Leicester have threatened to improve but not really done it yet, and Reading are a strong side as well.
"I latched onto Stockport really early, but I've flip-flopped and Huddersfield appear to be the better team now. I'm in a bit of a disaster position now because if it boils over and Huddersfield and Stockport both get chinned, then I've had a shocker.
"That's not beyond the realms of possibility, and it's fair to say Luton outplayed Huddersfield in the 1-1 draw last week, which is a bit of concern.
"But if I was to have a bet outright, I'd still be siding with the 2/1 on Huddersfield, which I do think is slight value."
