Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:
West Ham are at 4/7 to win, a draw is at 16/5, and a Huddersfield win is at 11/2.
West Ham will begin the weekend in ninth place on 39 points after 30 matches. They are just five points off the seventh place spot right now, though it will take some doing to grab that place ahead of the likes of Wolves and Watford. With two losses in their last three, they are trending downward but will still be favored massively in this fixture.
Huddersfield, meanwhile, will start the weekend in last place yet again with just 14 points from their 30 matches played already. They could, however, catch up to Fulham with a win and a loss for the Cottagers, so that is some positivity. They have only one win since November, but it did come three matches back.
At home, the Hammers have taken 24 points from 15 outings, putting them in eighth in the division. It’s not brilliant, but it’s something that can be built upon by the new regime if it stays intact. A home fortress is needed to crack the top four, and they might feel they have made the first steps. Three wins, no losses, and 11 points from their last five there indicate strong form.
The Terriers’ away form this season has only been rivaled by Fulham. They have only six points from 14 matches, via a win and three draws. That’s four above the Cottagers, though it’s still nothing to write home about. With only eight goals registered, it’s no shock to see they have lost for of their last five matches away from home and only have a point out of their last 15 road points.
No for both sides scoring is at 3/4 via Ladbrokes.
Betfair have Arnautovic scoring at 2.0 odds.
It’s a major struggled for Huddersfield now. Every single point is a massive climb uphill- both ways- and that doesn’t bode well for them here. West Ham are very strong at home, and they show that in spades.
Mauricio Pellegrini is missing midfielders Jack Wilshere and Carlos Sanchez, winger Andriy Yarmolenko, and center back Winston Reid at the moment.
It wasn’t a fine showing in the loss at Cardiff last time out, so turning to Marko Arnautovic looks a good idea. He has scored against the Terriers before and represents a huge threat to them here. Another threat is Manuel Lanzini. He scored twice in the 1-4 win over the Terriers last season, and he could torment them again in this match.
West Ham have two losses, two wins, and a draw in their last five matches:
2-0 loss at Cardiff
2-0 home win vs Newcastle
1-0 loss at Manchester City
3-1 home win vs Fulham
1-1 draw at Crystal Palace
Jan Siewert has a number of worries, with Jon Hogg, Adama Diakhaby, Tommy Smith, Demeaco Duhaney, Laurent Depoirte, Danny Williams, and Isaac Mbenza all out injured.
Last season, it was Aaron Mooy who orchestrated many of the great results for the Terriers, but the Australian has fought injury and being a known quantity this term in a much more difficult season. Still yet, he offers the best shot at breaking through with his side. Steve Mounie is the other man to watch. He was the hero, scoring the winner against Wolves to finally give them a win a couple of weeks ago, and they will cross their fingers he can do it again.
Huddersfield have four losses and a win in their last five matches:
0-2 home loss vs Bournemouth
1-0 loss at Brighton
1-0 home win vs Wolves
2-0 loss at Newcastle
1-2 home loss vs Arsenal
