History of the Huddersfield Town v Scunthorpe United fixture

Huddersfield prepare to entertain Scunthorpe United at Galpharm Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Terriers are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 4 of the 18 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Galpharm Stadium was just last season, in September 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-4 winners in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Huddersfield Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Terriers have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Scunthorpe U.'s away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Iron, and 5 goals against.

Huddersfield's 23 points from 16 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position. Scunthorpe U. are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 28 points from 16 games.
