Victories have not come easily for Huddersfield Town so far, and the same description fits Queens Park Rangers. These students from the school of hard knocks pray for some vital points here.
- Huddersfield Town have won significantly less corners at home than away.
- Queens Park Rangers have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Huddersfield Town form and stats
The story so far in the Championship for Huddersfield Town at their home stadium (The John Smith's Stadium) is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. When Huddersfield Town hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Blackburn Rovers, Rotherham United, Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield Wednesday, Watford, Stoke City and Huddersfield Town), they have won 1 of 2 matches! Huddersfield have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
The Huddersfield Town manager Moore and his pawns return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Sheffield Wednesday (placed 24th). The forward Thomas bested all others in that match and was awarded a match rating of 7.84 out of 10. Thomas hit one key pass.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Birmingham City (1-4).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Huddersfield Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 5 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 0.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Huddersfield, as the Championship home game vs Cardiff City is only three days away.
With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Huddersfield Town defense is not exactly impregnable. 8 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Queens Park Rangers form and stats
2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Queens Park Rangers playing as the away team in the Championship this season. Recent form does not give Queens Park Rangers much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Huddersfield Town will be a tough nut to crack.
Paal was the last player to score for the away team. QPR haven't scored a league goal in the last 180 minutes.
The manager Ainsworth was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Loftus Road Stadium. Queens Park Rangers suffered a 0-4 loss to Blackburn Rovers (placed 17th). QPR lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Midfielder Chair was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.41. Chair hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 44 successful passes (of 47 total).
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Leeds United wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.We have checked recent matches where Queens Park Rangers have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were 6 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats.
Queens Park Rangers have another fixture that requires travelling in just three sleeps, a Championship game vs West Bromwich Albion. A difficult schedule for the guests!
The attacking power of QPR when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Queens Park Rangers have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - three - one (Huddersfield Town wins - draws - Queens Park Rangers wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
