Tuesday Football Tips: Take Terriers to double up on Tykes at 5/2

Huddersfield Town boss Michael Duff looks on during a game
Michael Duff will make changes but should still have enough for a win

Paul Higham is backing Huddersfield to double up and beat League One rivals Barnsley for the second time in three days.

A quick rematch here in the EFL Trophy as Hudderfield beat Barnsley 2-0 in League One just three days ago, but neither side will look the same as many changes are expected.

They're level on points in the League One table, and it is the league that is the main focus for both, hence why two much-changed sides will run out at the John Smith's Stadium this time around.

So this could be a case of whoever's second string can settle in better that will prove the difference...

Leg 1: Huddersfield to win

Michael Duff's Huddersfield got a huge shot in the arm with Saturday's win as they'd lost the last four before that.

The win means they've beaten Barnsley three times in a row though, and even with changes being made, as the hosts they should have a decent advantage.

It's hard to look too much into form with the expected changes, but give they're playing at home, and full of confience after a win just a few days ago, we'll back the repeat and back Huddersfield to win at 10/111.91

Leg 2: Both teams to score

Barnsley have scored in four away games so far, with Huddersfield registering in five of six games at home.

And even better than the form is the expected changes, which can easily lead to disjointed performances from defenders especially under tough circumstances.

So I'm keen to keep on the side of goals here and back both teams to score at 4/91.44.
