Huddersfield vs Nottingham Odds

Odds as of May 28 at Barstool Sportsbook

Nottingham – twice a European Cup winner in 1979 and 1980 – is seeking a return to the EPL after a 23-year absence.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield does not have such a storied history – at least recently – but is attempting to return after it spent two seasons in the EPL between 2017 and 2019.

Huddersfield finished in third place in the Championship while Nottingham was fourth.

Huddersfield vs Nottingham Prediction

At Barstool Sportsbook, Nottingham is the favorite for a win at +114.

Huddersfield, meanwhile, is at +260 with the draw after 90 minutes at +215.

The kick-off for Huddersfield vs Nottingham in London is at 11:30 am ET.

With so much at stake, this fixture is often one of the most dramatic, tense and convulsive occasions in the English season.

Over/Under & Spread

Therefore, the Total Goals Prop Offer of +360 for there to be at least four goals looks attractive (Ov 3.5).

Meanwhile, the +360 spread offer for Nottingham to win by two goals or more is also compelling at +360 (Asian Handicap -1.5.)

The clash of Huddersfield versus Nottingham is all the more extraordinary because neither team seemed to have the slightest hope of winning promotion during the first half of the campaign.

Indeed, Nottingham occupied the bottom place in the table at one point.

Its transformation was due to the appointment as coach of Steve Cooper, who has become one of the most highly regarded managers in England.

🗣 "We knew before the semi-finals that it would be a chance to get Nottingham Forest to Wembley and how important that would be.

"We go there with a mindset to win another game, there's no doubt about that."

Since his first game in charge on September 25, Nottingham has accrued no fewer than 76 points from 38 games.

During that period, the team lost fewer games than Fulham and Bournemouth – the teams which won automatic promotion ahead of the play-off collision of Huddersfield vs Nottingham.

A similar streak under coach Carlos Corberan secured Huddersfield a place in the play-offs.

In 11th place on December 3, the team went on a 17-match unbeaten sequence to climb up the table.

It lost just twice in its last 28 regular-season games.

But Sheffield was then a 2-1 winner at Nottingham’s City Ground.

Copper’s team eventually prevailed by winning 3-2 in a penalty shoot-out.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield drew 1-1 in its semi-final first leg at Luton Town.

It then progressed to Huddersfield vs Nottingham at Wembley with a 1-0 win at home.

Brennan Johnson To Score Odds

Huddersfield is confident 14-goal leading scorer Danny Ward will be fit for the game after he went off injured in the second leg against Luton.

If not Jordan Rhodes, scorer of the 82nd-minute second leg winner against Luton will lead the line.

Ward is the most favored Huddersfield player to get on the scoresheet at +260.

However, there are three Nottingham players ahead of him in the betting.

Sam Surridge has eight goals this season and is priced at +185.

Furthermore, Keinan Davis – with five goals is at +210. 

Then, surprisingly, Brennan Johnson is priced widely at +245.
