Huddersfield Town form and stats

The story so far in the Championship for Huddersfield Town at their home stadium (The John Smith's Stadium) is 7 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Lee Nicholls not having conceded a league goal in 252 minutes.

Huddersfield Town are returning here after visiting Burnley in a FA Cup game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Koroma and Pearson scored the goal(s).

Before that, Huddersfield played out a Championship draw 0-0 when visiting Blackburn Rovers.

This is expected to be a close game, with Huddersfield Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Huddersfield Town as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Huddersfield Town has won six of these, drawn six and lost four.

A decent goal production from Huddersfield in their home games so far, with 18 goals from 12 league matches. 14 goals have been conceded.

Swansea City form and stats

There's been little loot from Swansea City's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 11 away games in the Championship. Swansea City only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. Recent form does not give Swansea much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Huddersfield Town will be a tough nut to crack.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a FA Cup home defeat versus Southampton (after extra-time) with 2-3 on the scoreboard.

A loss against Nottingham Forest was the result prior to that, in a Championship home game.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Swansea in our archives, and the results are: six wins for Swansea City, three draws and four defeats.

Swansea City are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 11 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Swansea have conceded 19 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above. Swansea has visited these top teams four times, and 3 of 4 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head
