1st Prediction for Wrexham v Huddersfield Town: Wrexham to win 133/100
The Reds are flying high in League One this season. Their continued rise up the divisions is currently being emphasised by a second-placed position after 11 games played. With a fantastic attacking outlet in Jack Marriott being replaced by an equally threatening partnership of Ollie Palmer and Paul Mullin, Wrexham can be expected to repeat this impressive form as they welcome Huddersfield with an unbeaten home run of 12 matches heading into this game.
2nd Prediction for Wrexham v Huddersfield Town: Over 2.5 goals 73/100
Both sides have scored eight goals in their last five matches. The Terriers have scored 17 this campaign and Wrexham have netted two more (19). Over 2.5 goals has landed six times in the league this season for Phil Parkinson’s side. As well as this, a 3-0 win against Wolves’ under-21s and several other performances in the EFL Trophy have overseen the same successful bet.
Furthermore, Huddersfield have also seen this fortune land nine times in all competitions this campaign and with both teams flourishing in attacking qualities, a barrage of goals could well be on the cards.
3rd Prediction for Wrexham v Huddersfield Town: Both teams to score (No) 29/25
A promising statistic shows that both teams are quite likely not to score in this fixture. Including an opening day, 2-0 victory over Peterborough United, Huddersfield have seen this land in eight matches across all competitions. Prior to a home tie with Bristol Rovers, the Terriers won back-to-back games 2-0 against Barnsley – both in the EFL Trophy and League One.
Strangely, the Welsh outfit have also seen this land in eight games so far this campaign, again in all competitions. Wrexham also very rarely concede many goals in singular games; it is usually a lone consolation for the opposition if anything. Should the Red Dragons exemplify their defensive prowess once again, they will be able to nullify Huddersfield on this occasion.

Full preview of the game: last results and head-to-head
These two League One promotion hopefuls haven’t faced each other since 2005, so it will be a fresh encounter for both sets of players and fans. Wrexham’s rapid rise from the National League to the third tier has caught up with Huddersfield, following their unfortunate Championship relegation last season.
Parkinson’s side sit second in the league, with the Yorkshire team just five points behind in sixth. A win for the Terriers would significantly close the gap. In the home side’s last five third tier matches, they have picked up ten points from a possible fifteen and remain one of the best defences in the 24 competing.
Huddersfield are fresh off the back of two league victories against Barnsley and Bristol Rovers, as well as another 2-0 win against the Tykes in the EFL Trophy. Three League One losses prior to this run can’t be overlooked though, as Wrexham could unravel the good work that the Terriers have displayed recently – the same vice versa.
