Huddersfield Town form and stats

4 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Huddersfield Town have to build on here at The John Smith's Stadium in the Championship. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Huddersfield after consecutive victories at their own ground.

A nice win for Huddersfield last time playing, versus Queens Park Rangers. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Harry Toffolo and Josh Koroma scoring for the victors. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Cardiff City (0-3).

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

The manager C. Corberán Vallet will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to AFC Bournemouth in only four days.

Huddersfield are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 8 goals have been conceded.
