Huddersfield Town form and stats

6-3-8 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Huddersfield Town so far this season.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 221 minutes without scoring a league goal. Headley was the last player to find the net.

The Huddersfield Town regulars got no joy from their last match, also played here at The John Smith's Stadium: A 0-4 defeat against Coventry City (placed 8th). As you see from the result above, Huddersfield Town suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Defender Lees got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.44/10. Lees won 7 of 7 duels.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Burnley.

Huddersfield are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at West Bromwich Albion awaits in four days.

Huddersfield Town have scored {16 league goals} here from 17 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Huddersfield Town have conceded 20 goals.

Bristol City form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Championship travels is 4 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats.

Bristol City lost away at Cardiff City (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Until that defeat this club had gained at least a draw from nine league fixtures in a row. Midfielder Scott was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.15. Scott hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 4 of 7 times and had 44 successful passes (of 55 total).

The match before was the FA Cup-duel against Manchester City, a home loss (0-3).

A tale of few goals? 9 of this team's last 11 league fixtures have seen zero, one or two goals.

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

Bristol City are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 21 away goals from 16 games (in the league). In the opposite end, Bristol City have conceded 25 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

The newest registered scoreline featuring both these sides is the Bristol City - Huddersfield 2-0 played previously this season. Head-to-head totals (for the previous ten meetings): Huddersfield Town won four games, zero matches ended with a tie and Bristol City got six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: seven / three.
