It's still early in the Championship season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Huddersfield Town - Derby County preview!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Huddersfield Town form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Huddersfield Town's two home games in the Championship so far this season, having collected 3 points here at The John Smith's Stadium.
A strong away win for Huddersfield against Swansea City the last match, as Harry Toffolo and Josh Koroma were on target. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Rotherham United the opponent.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Huddersfield have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost four.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Preston North End are coming to town in four days.
Huddersfield Town has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Derby County form and stats
Derby County are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Championship, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Championship home defeat versus Watford with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game was the away victory against Norwich City with the score of 1-0.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Derby County playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were four County wins, six draws and six defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Championship trip to Nottingham Forest.
It's early days yet, but Derby County has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Huddersfield won one game, four matches ended with a draw and Derby County has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fiveTop Goalscorers
