Huddersfield Town form and stats

Huddersfield Town have collected 16 points from their Championship home games so far after 5-1-3. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Huddersfield, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Stress levels are on the rise for Huddersfield Town's attacking players as they have now played 246 minutes without scoring in a league game. I. Mbenza was their last goal scorer.

The home team returns to The John Smith's Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Coventry City (placed 18th) on their last time out; the Championship game ended 0-0. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-5 away at AFC Bournemouth.
