Huddersfield Town have played great football so far, being 3rd spot in the table. Queens Park Rangers have an outlook both ways from their 11th spot.

Insights:
  • Queens Park Rangers is in the worst form (1-0-5)

Huddersfield Town have less rest than Queens Park Rangers in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Championship game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Luton Town, was also a home game here at The John Smith's Stadium. The away team is better rested.

Huddersfield Town form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Huddersfield Town have managed 11 wins, 5 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 20 games.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Lee Nicholls not having conceded a league goal in 224 minutes.

Huddersfield Town's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Luton Town (placed 5th). The home side are looking to build on that result. The striker Thomas outshone all the other players in that fixture and got a match rating of 7.75 out of 10. Thomas served one assist, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Hull City and winning 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Huddersfield have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won three times, drawn zero and lost one.

The manager Vallet will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Middlesbrough in only three days.

The Huddersfield Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 29 in 20 matches.

Queens Park Rangers form and stats

8-2-10 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Queens Park Rangers in their Championship matches away. With the Queens Park Rangers losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Queens Park Rangers play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Preston North End (placed 13th). Field got a match rating of 8.45 in that game, top player of the team. Field hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 48 successful passes (of 57 total).

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Sheffield United's place.

QPR are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is six wins, two draws and three defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

A new game in only three days for Queens Park Rangers, the Championship home match versus Derby County. Busy days.

QPR have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 20 league away games 27 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Queens Park Rangers struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 31 goals conceded from these games.
