Huddersfield host Sheffield Wednesday in a proper Yorkshire scrap near the top of League One, and the betting odds have the Terriers at 8/11 (Coral).
Martin Drury's side sit third. They recovered from being pegged back to win at Burton Albion, yet have won just one of their last four league outings. Joe Taylor's return is timely.
Sheffield Wednesday sit just a point behind their hosts. They went into the international break unbeaten in six in all competitions, and the travelling Owls have sold out their away allocation.

Huddersfield vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Huddersfield win, but not with a clean sheet. The Huddersfield vs Sheffield Wednesday prediction points firmly at the hosts, with the projected score landing at Huddersfield 1.9, Sheffield Wednesday 1.08. Drury's side carry far more threat in the final third, yet Wednesday's quality on the break means the Owls can nick a goal of their own.
Best Bets
Joe Taylor to score at any time in the Anytime Goalscorer market. He is back from international duty and expected to lead Huddersfield's line. Taylor carries the highest AI probability to score of any priced forward in this one, and he's started every match through the middle for Huddersfield this term. The volume of chances he's getting backs up the case.
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Both sides carry a threat, with a projected total of roughly three goals. Both teams scoring carries a strong implied probability here, and the projections have each side finding the net. Wednesday are rated strong on the counter, which happens to be exactly where Huddersfield are weakest at the back.
Huddersfield vs Sheffield Wednesday Bet Builder
Our Huddersfield vs Sheffield Wednesday bet builder tips combine three legs: Ashley Fletcher to score anytime, both teams to score, and Huddersfield or the draw in the Double Chance market.
Ashley Fletcher has scored in 2 of his last 3 appearances and starts alongside Taylor. He will get service, too, with Huddersfield having had 18+ shots in 4 of their last 5 League One matches.
Both teams have scored in 6 of Huddersfield's last 7 matches. Wednesday's counter-attacking threat against a Huddersfield side that leaves gaps on the break makes this a natural fit.
Huddersfield or the draw has landed in 7 of the last 8. The Terriers are also undefeated in their last six matches against Wednesday in all competitions.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 3/1 and is as short as 43/20 elsewhere.

Huddersfield vs Sheffield Wednesday Talking Points
This one gets decided on the break. Huddersfield are rated strong on the counter and love a through ball, but defending counter attacks is their soft spot, and that is exactly where Henrik Pedersen's Wednesday do their best work, happy to sit in their own half and spring forward. Then there is Ashley Fletcher, who spent the 2023/24 season on loan with Sheffield Wednesday and now leads the line against them. It is why our best bets lean on Taylor and goals at both ends rather than another stubborn home shutout.
