Huddersfield Town and Watford will battle for three points in an EFL Championship matchday 15 fixture on Saturday (November 4th).
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a harrowing 4-1 thrashing away to Yorkshire rivals Leeds United last weekend. Daniel James and Crysencio Summerville each scored first half braces, with the latter also providing both assists to the Welshman to guide the Whites to victory.
Watford, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw against Millwall on home turf. Yaser Asprilla broke the deadlock in the seventh minute, while Zian Flemming leveled matters just five minutes later. Wes Harding put the visitors ahead in the 85th minute to seemingly win the game but substitute Mileta Rajovic scored an injury-time equalizer.
The stalemate left the Clarets in 16th spot, having garnered 17 points from 14 games. Huddersfield Town sit in 21st place with 14 points to show for their efforts in as many games.

Huddersfield vs Watford Prediction
Huddersfield Town continued their descent towards the bottom three, with their derby loss last week meaning they have won just one of their last seven league games. The loss leaves them just outside the relegation zone, having played one game more than the side below them, Rotherham United.
Watford have also struggled this season and are yet to hit top gear. However, Valerien Ismael's side are currently on a four-game unbeaten streak and will aim to build on this. They also have a good recent record against the Terriers, having won four of the last six games between the two sides.
We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals to be scored at both ends.
