Insights:
  • Huddersfield Town has the most conceded goals (23) away in Championship

Bristol have less rest than Huddersfield Town in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a FA Cup game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Millwall, so at least Bristol City are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Bristol City form and stats

The story so far in the Championship for Bristol City at their home stadium (Ashton Gate Stadium) is 6 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. Two home wins in a row for Bristol bring valid hopes of a third.

A strong away win for Bristol against Millwall the last match, as Famara Diédhiou, Antoine Semenyo and Nahki Wells were on target. Prior to that, an away loss at Norwich City in the Championship.

Bristol goalkeeper Max O'Leary did an outstanding job against Millwall with seven saves, so vital to securing the victory.

This is expected to be a close game, with Bristol City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bristol City as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Bristol has won six of these, drawn two and lost five.

Bristol City are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Derby County awaits in four days.

Bristol has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Bristol are not conceding a lot of goals here at Ashton Gate Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 12 matches.

Huddersfield Town form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Huddersfield Town, who have the most conceded goals (23) away in Championship, so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-7 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Huddersfield Town much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Bristol City will be a tough nut to crack. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Huddersfield are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The attacking players of Huddersfield Town have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 264 minutes.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Championship home defeat versus Millwall with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Watford's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Huddersfield Town playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were two Huddersfield Town wins, five draws and five defeats.

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

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Huddersfield Town as they have only managed to score 11 times from 12 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Huddersfield struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 23 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Bristol City and Huddersfield Town have met before this season: Huddersfield Town - Bristol City 1-2. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Bristol, zero draws and four wins for Huddersfield Town. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
