Huddersfield are 8/11 to beat Bournemouth and 3/10 to qualify for the final.
Bournemouth do have plenty of pace in their side and although they failed to win at home, they will still be optimistic of reaching Wembley.
Huddersfield lost at the semi-final stage of the play-offs last season and are 12/5 to fail to reach the final again, with Bournemouth 4/1 to achieve victory within the 90 minutes.
Half Time/Full Time
With the tie delicately poised, there is a high possibility that the opening period will be a cagey affair with both teams keeping things tight and not wanting to give anything away.
Therefore, backing the game to be level at half time but Huddersfield being ahead at the final whistle could represent the best value on offer.
League One odds of 7/2 are available on the game panning out this way, while 1-0 Huddersfield could also be worth considering in the correct scoreline market at 11/2.
