Huddersfield Town form and stats

Huddersfield Town have played 12 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-6 (wins-draws-losses). When Huddersfield Town hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cardiff City, Wigan Athletic, Hull City, Stoke City, Bristol City, Huddersfield Town and Blackpool), they have won 3 of 5 matches!

Huddersfield Town enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Preston North End's place. The match ended 2-1 with Kesler-Hayden and Rhodes scoring. At last, a league win after three matches without one. Midfield player Kesler-Hayden got a match rating of 7.65 in that game, the max score being 10. Kesler-Hayden scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Preceding that match was the home game against Watford that was lost 0-2.

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 5 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

It should be noted that a glance at the 10 latest league games reveals that 8 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored).

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Huddersfield Town, as the Championship home game vs Luton Town is only three days away.

Huddersfield Town have scored {10 league goals} here from 12 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.

Rotherham United form and stats

There's been little loot from Rotherham United's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 12 away games in the Championship. Rotherham United only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 5 draws.

Rotherham played 2-2 against Stoke City in their previous match. The draw against Stoke City came from a losing position.

Ogbene served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against West Bromwich Albion wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
