The Saints have been level at half-time in 22 of their 40 matches since the start of last season
Both these teams remain unbeaten but they should enjoy the table while they can as neither has played a top-class side. Southampton beat West Ham last weekend but needed a contentious injury time penalty against 10 men to do so. Huddersfield, meanwhile, are yet to concede but the Saints are likely to give them their sternest test to date.
In the past three seasons, however, Southampton have lost six of their nine trips to promoted teams while winning just twice. That’s despite conceding only 10 times across those matches as their familiar failings in front of goal have cost them. As a result, seven of the games have had fewer than three goals while five had fewer than two. Huddersfield struggled to create much against Newcastle last week despite dominating possession, so with less of the ball here they’ll surely find it even harder and Under 2.5 Goals is a banker.
Tip: Under 2.5
Huddersfield v Southampton [Total Goals Over/Under]
In fact, with nine of Saints’ 20 trips to bottom-half finishers in the past two seasons having had fewer than two strikes Under 1.5 Goals looks the best bet. Furthermore, Mauricio Pellegrino’s Alaves side saw fewer than two goals in 15 of their La Liga matches last season, three more than any other side in the league.
Tip: Under 1.5
Huddersfield v Southampton [Total Goals Over/Under]
Southampton have been level at half-time in 22 of their 40 matches since the start of last season but they’ve won just one of the last 13 in that situation. Huddersfield, meanwhile, have won the second half in both their openers and last season they had a superb record when level at half-time: W13-D3-L4. So take a chance on the Terriers maintaining their dream start with a Draw/Huddersfield double.
