Danny Cowley’s Huddersfield Town welcome Garry Monk’s Sheffield Wednesday to the John Smith Stadium on Sunday afternoon for their matchday seven clash in the Championship.

Huddersfield are already in trouble with only one point on the board since being relegated from the Premier League last season. They’ve already sacked one manager this season, German manager Jan Siewert who was a replacement for David Wagner. Cowley has taken over after a very successful career as Lincoln City manager, can he repeat some of that success here?

Wednesday meanwhile got off to a good start with two wins in their first two matches, but they’ve lost the two most previous two in a row and will want to get back to winning ways here against a team in turmoil.

Huddersfield vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips and Predictions: Huddersfield

Everyone knows about the ‘new manager bounce’ but regular bettors will know that it’s a fallacy. For all of Cowley success at Lincoln he’s up against it here. He’s inherited a team low on confidence and goals, they’ve only scored five goals in their six matches so far. They’ve conceded 11 already.

The one piece of good news is that 21 year old striker Karlan Grant, signed from Charlton in the January transfer window, has continued his good from. He scored four in 13 matches for the Terries last season and has scored four goals in six appearances this season.

The Owl’s away form has really let them down so far this season, winning just one of their three away games this season and losing the other two. At home, it’s better, winning two and losing one and Garry Monk knows that for them to have any hopes of getting into the promotion positions then their away form must improve.

Coming up against a Huddersfield who are in a bit of a mess then should be a good opportunity for Monk’s Owls especially when we look at recent head to head matches in the Championship going back to 2014. Wednesday have won 3/5 meetings, the other two were draws.

Scottish Striker Steven Fletcher has looked very good so far bagging three goals in six matches, former Cardiff City midfielder Kadeem Harris has fitted right into the team as well, starting all matches and scoring in two of them.

The Asian Handicap line opened at 0 and has moved in favour of the home side, having opened at 2.05, it’s now at 1.93, so the market is expecting the new manager bounce to be a factor. The goal line opened at 2.5 and has fallen to 2.25 meaning the market isn’t expecting a goalfest here.

With Huddersfield being so out of form the Asian Handicap of Sheffield Wednesday 0 at 1.99 is tempting, it had opened at 1.83 so plenty of value there. But Crowley has had this team to drill over the international break and will surely be fired up to get their season going. Both Teams are scoring though so you’d expect both to score here today, Both Teams to Score is around 1.87, having opened at 1.77.
