Huddersfield Town started their EFL Trophy campaign with a win at fellow Yorkshire outfit Doncaster and next the Terriers have Lancastrian opponents in their sights, as they prepare to host Rochdale at Accu Stadium on Tuesday night.
The Terriers have lost just one of their last nine games and will head into this game against League Two Rochdale full of confidence.
As for the visitors, the Dale have managed just one win in their last five away games and a lack of goals on the road might well be an issue once again for manager Ian Watson and his side in this EFL Trophy clash.
Huddersfield Town v Rochdale Tips Summary
Best Bet - Huddersfield Town to win to nil @ 5/4
Alternative Bet - Under 2.5 total goals @ 13/8
Bet Builder - Half-Time/Full-Time - Huddersfield Town/Huddersfield Town & Ashley Fletcher anytime goalscorer @ 9/5
Huddersfield Town v Rochdale Prediction
Best Bet: Huddersfield Town to win to nil @ 5/4
As mentioned, goals for the Dale away from their home at Spotland Stadium have been at a premium this season.
Looking back at their last five away games in all competitions, Rochdale failed to score in four of those matches.
As for Huddersfield, the West Yorkshire outfit have lost just one of their last 10 League One home games.
With Accu Stadium being somewhat of a fortress these days for the Terriers and given Rochdale's troubles on the road, a Huddersfield win to nil gets the nod.
Alternative Bet: Under 2.5 total goals @ 13/8
Given Rochdale’s propensity to draw a blank on the road this term, a low-scoring game might well be on the cards.
Games between teams in different leagues are expected to be one-sided affairs, often packed with goals, which does help the odds in the under market here.
Huddersfield to win 1-0 or 2-0 looks achievable and the 13/8 on offer for under 2.5 total goals catches the eye in this one.
Huddersfield Town v Rochdale Bet Builder Tip
Half-Time/Full-Time - Huddersfield Town/Huddersfield Town
Ashley Fletcher anytime goalscorer
Pays 9/5
Huddersfield's home form suggests the Terriers will look to come quickly out of the blocks and put Rochdale on the back foot.
A goal before half-time would be little surprise and Town are tipped to be leading at both the half-time and full-time whistle on Tuesday night.
Switching focus to the anytime goalscorer market, Ashley Fletcher is fancied in the anytime goalscorer market.
Fletcher has scored in both of his last two games against Bromley and Burton and the 31-year-old is backed to continue that scoring run against the Dale.
