Town are 16/1 to be knockout surprise

-

TOWN travel to the Etihad on the cusp of a potential upset and BetVictor make the Terriers a 16/1 chance to cause an upset against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

The Premier League outfit are 2/15 favourites to get the job done inside 90 minutes and 15/2 that the tie goes to either extra-time or penalties.

After a blip during December, City have started the New Year in tremendous form, and are now the 9/1 fourth favourites for Champions League success after last week’s dramatic 5-3 defeat of Monaco at the Etihad.

Guardiola has put a potential rift with star striker Sergio Aguero to one side with the Argentine strike filling the void of injured wonderkid Gabrial Jesus in the final third and BetVictor make Aguero the 3/1 favourite to break the deadlock this evening, and 8/11 to net anytime against the Terriers.

I expect the Terriers to give it a good go at the Etihad but can’t see them knocking out a City side that are well rested after a weekend off and have a squad that has mammoth strength in depth.

I can see Huddersfie­ld holding them until the interval, but Guardiola’s side prevailing thereafter; the draw/Man City double result at 4/1, and City to win and both teams to score at 8/5.

BetVictor make Huddersfie­ld a 6/1 chance to reach the quarter-finals.
