History of the Southampton v Huddersfield Town fixture

Huddersfield face a trip to Southampton at St. Marys on Tuesday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Terriers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2010, with Southampton annihilating their visitors 5 - 0 in a League One match.
