jordan rhodes is on form and a good bet to score first

charlton v huddersfield (28/11/11)

An intriguing top of the table clash in League One tonight pits the league leaders at home to third-placed  Huddersfield – and something has got to give.

Charlton have been nothing short of prolific at home this season (although not as much as second-placed Southampton) and remain unbeaten – although they have been pegged back three times.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield – just four points back – are the last unbeaten team in the league this season… and look a good bet for promotion.

While the home side do a good rendition of an angry rash at home, Huddersfield are no mugs away from Yorkshire and have scored an impressive 18 goals on their travels, conceding a paltry six. Away form is the key to this league where the ability to take points at difficult outpoints of the English regions can normally guarantee a place in the Championship.

The stats say that there will be goals – Huddersfield average two goals a game away from home, while Charlton put away 2.5 goals a game on average at The Valley.

So, expect attacking play.

Bet365 are being very generous on the +2.5 goals market, which we should take full advantage of – and the odds on a 2-2 draw a generous all round, which is worth a little go at.
