League One Final - Huddersfield v Peterborough
There is plenty of football betting action this weekend. While most of the attention is on the Champions League Final between Barcelona and Manchester United, there is a League One Playoff Final at Old Trafford on Sunday between Huddersfield and Peterborough. Huddersfield is the slight favourite but each result offers a decent payout.
These sides know how to find the back of the net. Huddersfield have scored 28 goals in their last six matches, while Peterborough have a total of 181 goals on the season. Five of the last seven matches between the two have gone over 2.5 goals, with just one clean sheet during that span. Both teams have scored in the last three meetings.
Huddersfield made the final off a penalty shootout win following the 4-4 draw with Bournemouth. They haven’t kept a clean sheet in six straight matches but are unbeaten in the last 27. They strike early and often. Huddersfield have scored first in nine of the last 10 matches. Jordan Rhodes is the top scorer with 16 goals and can be backed to score first with 5/1 odds at SkyBet. Daniel Ward is on loan from Bolton and has four goals in his last four times out. He is a risky bet that could pay off big with 10/1 odds at SkyBet to score first on Sunday.
Peterborough have scored at least two goals in each of their last five matches. Craig Mackail-Smith has 34 goals on the season and has 11/2 odds at SkyBet to score first. But the team looks far from promotion worthy with just four wins in 12 matches. Expect them to put up a good fight against Huddersfield.
