Insights:

  • Wycombe Wanderers has the most conceded goals (47) in Championship

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Championship game only four days ago. That game, against Sheffield Wednesday, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Wycombe Wanderers.

Huddersfield Town form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Huddersfield Town have managed 7 wins, 2 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 14 games.

Huddersfield Town shared the glory with Luton Town in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. In the match before that, Huddersfield Town hosted Stoke City and drew the game 1-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Huddersfield's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won one match, drawn zero and lost one.

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

The Huddersfield fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Huddersfield have only conceded 13 from their league home games.

Wycombe Wanderers form and stats

There's been little loot from Wycombe Wanderers's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 13 away games in the Championship. Wycombe Wanderers, who have the most conceded goals (47) in Championship, only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. Bitter travels for Wanderers as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Preston North End match.

Wanderers are looking to quickly end their 317 minutes long goal drought in the Championship.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Wycombe Wanderers, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Sheffield Wednesday (placed 21st). Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Nottingham Forest.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Wycombe Wanderers when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing two and winning one game.

A quick return to home after this game, as Wanderers are hosting Derby County in the Championship only three days away.

The attacking power of Wycombe Wanderers when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 13 league matches away. For Wanderers, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Wycombe Wanderers - Huddersfield 0-0. H2H stats regardless of arena (last five matches): Huddersfield Town four wins, one draw and Wycombe Wanderers zero victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
