Huddersfield vs Doncaster Prediction: Terriers can bounce back to winning form

Huddersfield Town’s perfect start to the season in League 1 came to a halt with a shock defeat to Blackpool and they welcome unbeaten Doncaster Rovers to the Accu Stadium on Tuesday night (19:45, Sky Sports+)..

Below are my Huddersfield vs Doncaster predictions, featuring team news and match odds for the showdown in West Yorkshire.

Team News

Huddersfield’s Marcus Harness returned to the team on Saturday after coming off in the opening game of the season. Marcus McGuane was a late substitute to make his first appearance. Mickel Miller, Jacob Chapman and Antony Evans are out.

Doncaster defender Jamie Sterry returns to training on Monday after sustaining a facial injury in Rovers’ opener. James Maxwell and Jay McGrath returned to the squad on Saturday, while Joe Ironside could also be available on Tuesday.

Huddersfield vs Doncaster Odds

Home side Huddersfield are 19/20 favourites, the draw is 13/5, while Doncaster to win are 11/4.

Huddersfield to win @ 19/20

Lee Grant’s side slipped to a first defeat of the season but one of the leading favourites in League 1 can return to winning ways at home.

The Terriers were comprehensive 3-0 winners in their match at the Accu Stadium this season and have firmly bounced back from an extremely poor finish to last season.

Grant has built a great attacking unit, with seven goals the joint highest with Barnsley, and Huddersfield have conceded only three, two of which coming courtesy of some sloppy defending last weekend.

Huddersfield have excellent defensive options for this level and can shut out a Doncaster side who have scored just four in three games, albeit still being clinical in picking up seven points.

Both teams to score - No @ 1/1

Doncaster will have to be at their best to break the home defence and they were League 2's best team away from home last season. They also scored four against a chaotic Middlesbrough side in the Carabao Cup last week so many will fancy them to trouble Huddersfield.

That said, Grant will be eager to rectify his side’s mishaps at Blackpool and a stronger defensive showing may be the priority going into the match. The likes of Joe Low and Jack Whatmough are excellent and should keep another clean sheet.

Ben Wiles to score anytime @ 16/5

The goalscorer markets are tricky given Grant has been rotating his strikers and Alfie May, favourite to be the division’s top scorer, has been a bit disappointing so far.

Ben Wiles has been consistently used by Grant, playing immediately behind the main striker, and is averaging two shots per game. He also was the only player to score a free-kick for Huddersfield last season and that was just one of his tally of nine.
