From these 46 matches they scored 64 goals and gave away 47. Performing as the home team in the previous season Huddersfield Town managed 13-6-4 (win-draw-lost) with 35 goals and 23 conceded.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Huddersfield Town friendly games in pre-season: Huddersfield Town played five friendlies, won 2, drew 1 and lost 2.

Burnley form and stats

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Burnley as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 7 victories from 38 games, relegation was a fact. Burnley's manager Jackson are hoping to lead the team right back to Premier League at the first attempt.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Burnley playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 5 Burnley wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Burnley have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeats from three fixtures.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - three - four (Huddersfield Town wins - draws - Burnley wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
