Let's all look at Sunderland - Huddersfield Town! Despite the season performances so far, this game could be a riot!

Insights:
  • Sunderland have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Huddersfield Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's no vacation for neither Sunderland nor Huddersfield Town as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Sunderland form and stats

7 victories, 7 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Sunderland have to build on here at Stadium of Light in the Championship.

Sunderland's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Birmingham City (placed 17th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Diallo, a striker, was the champion player for the side in that game, scoring a rating of 7.9 (out of 10). Diallo scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 5 of 7 times and had 43 successful passes (of 49 total).

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Cardiff City.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Sunderland matches with similar probabilities have ended with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat (from 4 games).

The Sunderland fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 30 in 21 matches. Sunderland have conceded 30 in these home matches.

Huddersfield Town form and stats

Huddersfield Town have only collected 16 points from their away games in the Championship, after 4-4-13 (21 played).

Huddersfield lost away at Swansea City (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. That defeat was their first after five consecutive league rounds winning points. Helik, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.35. Helik won 6 of 9 duels.

Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Blackburn Rovers.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Huddersfield Town playing away, we found 11 games. Results were 3 away wins, 3 draws and 5 home wins.

The attacking power of Huddersfield Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 18 goals scored from 21 league matches away. Huddersfield's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 35 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Huddersfield Town - Sunderland 0-2 was the product when this pair of teams last met, earlier this season.
