The new Championship season begins on Friday evening at the John Smith's stadium where Huddersfield Town host Burnley.

The Clarets begin the campaign hoping to bounce back immediately from the Premier League relegation by securing an instant return to the topflight.

The Terriers will certainly possess promotion aspirations of their own having coming so close last May before losing in the play-off final to Nottingham Forest.

Huddersfield Town vs Burnley first goal scorer

Having scored 20 goals for MK Dons in League One last season, new Burnley signing Scott Twine is among the favourites to break the deadlock, offered at 6/1 (7.00) the same the price as his teammate Ashley Barnes.

Huddersfield have a new attacking signing of their own, with Jack Rudoni joining from AFC Wimbledon where he scored 12 times in 41 League One appearances and the 21-year-old is also available at 6/1 (7.00) to score first, the same price as veteran Terriers striker Jordan Rhodes.

Huddersfield Town vs Burnley preview

Huddersfield ended the regular season last term in spectacular fashion taking 19 points from a possible 21 to finish third in the table and head into the play-offs with real momentum.

Burnley for their part battled but ended up suffering relegation after taking one point from their last four Premier League matches and their form on the road really cost them.

Sean Dyche's men won just twice away from Turf Moor and they will know that record will have to improve drastically in the second tier this season under new boss Vincent Kompany.

An even game is likely to be in store and there should be plenty of interest in backing a stalemate.

Huddersfield Town vs Burnley tips and predictions

Three of the last four league meetings between these teams have ended in draws and the price of 23/10 (3.30) for a repeat should appeal.

Backing 1-1 in the correct score market at 11/2 (6.50) also looks attractive.
