Huddersfield vs Swansea – Prediction (Championship – 26.11.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Averaging just 2.2 goals per home league game this term, only two other teams have scored less home goals this Championship campaign than Huddersfield Town. The hosts are yet to score at home in the league within the first 15 minutes, but on a brighter note, Huddersfield scored first last time out for the tenth time in 17 league matches. After winning four competitive home encounters vs Swansea in succession (1995-2006), Huddersfield have failed to win their last two league meetings against their opponents here (D1, L1). Each of the last three H2Hs here have separated the sides by under 1.5 goals.

Swansea’s recent 1-0 home defeat to Millwall marked their fourth loss this campaign, and the third time that Swansea have been beaten ‘to-nil’. However, they are still undefeated away so far this Championship campaign (W4, D4), letting in just six of their 17 total league goals conceded this season on the road. Also impressive is the fact that Swansea have scored in 75% of their away matches, with the final third (61st-90th+) being a busy time on their travels. Notably, they have netted seven of their 11 away league goals scored to date during that period.

Players to watch: Seven of Karlan Grant’s nine league goals for Huddersfield this campaign have come in games featuring both sides scoring. Likewise, all nine of André Ayew’s (SWA) competitive contributions this season (six goals, three assists) have come in games seeing both teams score.

Stat attack: Five of Huddersfield’s last six Championship home goals have come in the second half. Swansea have scored first in a majority (five) of their eight Championship away games. Overall, the ‘Swans’ have earned 55.17% of their points on their travels.
