Huddersfield Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Huddersfield Town's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 17 away games in the Championship. Huddersfield Town only have 2 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 4 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Huddersfield are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Huddersfield Town aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 311 league minutes without a goal. Headley was the last player to find the net.

There were no winners in Huddersfield Town's previous match, the home game that ended 0-0 vs Bristol City (placed 13th). Goalkeeper Vaclík made a total of six saves, making him a hero against Bristol City. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes. Vaclík (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.94. Vaclík topped it up with a clean sheet.

A 0-4 loss hosting Coventry City before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Norwich City in just four days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Huddersfield as they have only managed to score 14 times from 17 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Huddersfield Town's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 31 goals from these trips.
