The overall stats in the Championship are 9-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of six straight victories regardless of arena.

Huddersfield Town form and stats

4 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Huddersfield Town playing as the away team in the Championship this season. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Huddersfield Town, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Two travels in a row for Huddersfield Town, whose manager Corberán Vallet could celebrate last time after the Championship win against Nottingham Forest. Goalkeeper Nicholls was absolutely vital in the Huddersfield victory against Nottingham Forest, making six saves. The attacker Holmes got a match rating of 7.83 in that game. Holmes scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Blackpool.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Huddersfield playing away, we found two games. Results were one away win, zero draws and one home win.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Huddersfield have scored 14 goals in 13 league games away. 15 goals have been conceded by Huddersfield in these games.
