The visiting Swansea City side should be favourites in this visit to Huddersfield Town, as the away team holds a 12 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Huddersfield Town and Swansea City.
Huddersfield Town form and stats
With 2 Championship wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Huddersfield Town are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The points were shared in Huddersfield Town's previous game, also at home. Visiting Birmingham City (placed 15th) travelled back with a point after a 1-1 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Preston North End.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Huddersfield Town have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 4 Lost 2.
There will be little rest for Huddersfield Town after this match as they are travelling to Bristol City for a Championship game in only four days.

Swansea City form and stats
The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 4 wins, 4 draws and only 0 losses in the Championship. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Derby County game have they lost an away game, meaning Swansea City has taken points from eight away matches in a row.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Championship home defeat versus Millwall with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Sheffield Wednesday that ended 2-2.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Swansea City playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were 1 Swansea City win, 6 draws and 2 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Swansea City are hosting Fulham in the Championship only three days away.
Swansea City find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 11 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. It's not easy to score on Swansea City as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
