Bet Of The Day May 8 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Huddersfield have lost just one of their last nine league games
Huddersfield beat Reading 4-0 in their last clash at John Smith’s Stadium
Huddersfield beat Sheffield in their last game, ensuring their survival
Reading have been relegated and have nothing to play for
Reading have lost nine of their last 10 away games
Reading have the worst away record in the league
Huddersfield want to celebrate Neil Warnock with one final win at home

We’re off to the English Championship for today’s best bet as Huddersfield look to pile more misery on already-relegated Reading.

It’s set to be a thrilling final day of the Championship, and although this particular match is a dead rubber, we think there’s great value in backing Huddersfield.

Huddersfield secured their Championship status last week with a 1-0 victory over promoted Sheffield United, so there should be a party-like atmosphere at John Smith’s Stadium on Monday.

Neil Warnock came out of retirement when Huddersfield were seven points adrift of safety and orchestrated a miraculous run to survival, culminating in last week’s aforementioned triumph over Sheffield.

Huddersfield will be keen for one more win in what will be Warnock’s last game in temporary charge. The Terriers have been in fantastic form for a while now, losing just one of their last nine league games.

By contrast, Reading are down in the dumps and will be playing in the third-tier of English football next season for the first time in two decades.

Reading have been absolutely awful on the road lately as well, losing nine of their last 10 away games.

Reading have the worst away record in the league, so expect Huddersfield to cap a remarkable tale of survival with three more points at home.
