It's no vacation for neither Huddersfield nor Middlesbrough as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Huddersfield Town form and stats
Overall Championship stats at home this season for Huddersfield Town are 2-1-3 (wins-draw-losses).
The home team returns to The John Smith's Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Wycombe Wanderers (placed 22nd) on their last time out; the Championship game ended 0-0. Heartbreak before that as Huddersfield Town lost 3-4 at Stoke City's place.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Huddersfield as they are travelling to their away game against Cardiff City in the Championship. That match is three days after this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Huddersfield here at The John Smith's Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 6 games). Huddersfield's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Middlesbrough form and stats
Playing away, Middlesbrough, who have the fewest conceded goals (6) in Championship, have won 1 game, drawn 4 and suffered 1 defeat in the Championship this season. It's three draws from Middlesbrough's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Middlesbrough go into this game after a win, the home game against Derby County that ended 3-0. A 0-1 loss hosting Norwich City before that.
After this away game Middlesbrough return home for a Championship game against Swansea City. That game is only four sleeps after this.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Middlesbrough's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. Middlesbrough are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 3 goals away.
