Tamworth vs. Huddersfield: Key Betting Insight
Betting Tip: Tamworth or Draw (Double Chance)
Tamworth are the National League representatives, but recent form indicates that this tie's underdogs might just be up for pulling a shock result against League One opponent Huddersfield. Here's a look at what both teams bring into this tie.
Huddersfield's Form: Strong at Home, Struggling on the Road
Huddersfield goes into this game confident, having won four of its last five. But all four victories came at home. Take that away, and Huddersfield's away form is in exact contrast with Michael Duff's side managing just one win in their last seven away matches. FA Cup away games have pretty been problematic for the Huddersfield team that has lost five of its last six since 2019.
Tamworth's Home Advantage
Tamworth's recent record at home makes them something of a handful on Friday. The Lambs have won five of the last seven at home, losing only once. Even more impressive is their FA Cup home record, which stands at six wins in the last seven matches at the Lamb Ground. More impressively, this number includes a thrilling 4:2 win over Macclesfield that earned them their spot in Friday's first-round clash.
Why Tamworth Can Pull off an Upset
With Huddersfield struggling on the road of late and Tamworth boasting a good home record, the stars would appear to be aligned for the Lambs to pull off the shock. A Tamworth double chance bet (Tamworth or Draw) looks like a decent wager for what should be an exciting match.
