The visiting Bristol City side should be favourites in this visit to Huddersfield Town, as the away team holds a 17 point advantage from their 34 league games this season.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Huddersfield Town and Bristol City.

Huddersfield Town form and stats

5-5-7 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Huddersfield Town so far this season.

In their previous game, the manager D. Cowley led his Huddersfield Town to a defeat in the Championship match away at Swansea City. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The John Smith's Stadium. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Derby County the opponent.

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

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Championship game versus Charlton Athletic in only four days. This game is also played here at The John Smith's Stadium.

Huddersfield Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 17 games. 24 goals have been conceded.

Bristol City form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Championship travels is 8 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

Bristol City have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 212 minutes ago. F. Diedhiou was the goal scorer.

Bristol City failed to get anything from their last game, a Championship home match vs West Bromwich Albion (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-3. Prior to that match, the Bristol City manager L. Johnson faced defeat when travelling to Leeds United and losing 0-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bristol City playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were five Bristol City wins, three draws and one defeat.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Championship trip to Millwall.

Bristol City are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 24 away goals from 17 games (in the league). 23 goals have been conceded by Bristol City in these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Bristol City - Huddersfield Town 5-2. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - one - five (Huddersfield Town wins - draws - Bristol City wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
