Huddersfield Town, Recent FormHuddersfield Town will not be too troubled by their 2-0 away defeat against Norwich City, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. During that encounter they had 39% possession and had 5 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 9 of their 21 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 20 of their 23 games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Goalscorer Delano Burgzorg will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Huddersfield Town.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormThe Blackburn Rovers squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 home defeat against Watford, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Watford who had 18 attempts and 6 on target.
Manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 14 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 8 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 19 of their 23 games overall.
With 4 wins from their last 6 away matches, they have put together an impressive run of form away from home recently.
With 5 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Blackburn Rovers, Sammie Szmodics will be looking to add more goals against Huddersfield Town in this match.
