Bristol City form and stats

Bristol City have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Championship. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

The Bristol manager Pearson and his gang return home after a 3-3 draw away versus Blackpool (placed 13th). A goal frenzy last time out for Bristol City, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Blackpool. Fun stuff to watch! The striker Conway was declared "man of the match" for Bristol with the rating of 7.85/10. Conway scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Before that one, a nice away victory at Wycombe Wanderers. A Carabao Cup match. 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 Bristol City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Bristol are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Blackburn Rovers awaits in three days.

Bristol City has scored 6 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 3 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Huddersfield Town form and stats

It's not happening yet for Huddersfield Town on their Championship travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different?

Huddersfield Town played 2-2 against West Bromwich Albion in their previous match. Drawing 2-2 against West Bromwich Albion after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Schofield needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Attacker Anjorin got a player rating of 7.83 in the game. "Man of the match" Anjorin scored two goals.

A 1-2 defeat away at Norwich City before that.

We have checked recent matches where Huddersfield Town have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 11 games were 4 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Huddersfield are hosting Blackpool in the Championship only four days away.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Huddersfield Town has managed 2 goals and let in 4 from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

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