Match Preview:

Huddersfield won just their 2^nd game of the season last weekend when they surprised many by beating Wolves 2-0 away from home. Although if we look a little closer we can see that David Wagner’s side have found their best form this season and that win meant that the club have picked up 7 points from their last 9. They haven’t lost a game since the end of October and come into this match in 15^th position.

The Terriers have won just 1 game at home this season from 7 and have scored just twice in front of their home fans. That is a poor goalscoring record that only one other club in Crystal Palace can equal. But again if we look at recent form the club seem to have turned their fortunes around and have gone their last two games undefeated.

Brighton are in 12^th place and come here with a 5 point advantage over their hosts. Whilst Huddersfield are enjoying a good patch of form, it could be argued that Brighton are experiencing their worst form of the season. A 1-1 draw at home to Leicester last weekend marked 3 games without a win for Chris Hughton’s men.

Brighton have a really poor away record and it is clear that their home performances will be the difference between the side staying up or not. As it stands away from home they have won just 1 game all season and have lost 5 from the 7 they have played. They are also shipping on average almost 2 goals per game and have conceded 5 in their last two.
