It has been all too rare in recent games where Huddersfield Town have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Huddersfield Town have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals on the way. We will just have to find out whether or not that trend can be sustained into this next match.

A look at their previous results shows us that Huddersfield Town:

• haven't lost in the league to Millwall in their last 3 matches.
• have not won at home in their last 4 league games. That's never good.

Millwall

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Rotherham United in Championship action, Millwall will be hoping to turn things around here.

For 5 of the prior six games involving Millwall, a notably low volume of goals have been struck between them and their opponents. The overall average goals scored per game in that spell works out to a meagre 1.83, with the number of goals averaged by The Lions equalling 0.83.

Pre-game facts show that Millwall:

• have left without a victory over Huddersfield Town when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• are without a win away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.

📰 Team News: Huddersfield

Ollie Turton (Meniscus injury) and Josh Ruffels (Groin injury) won’t be available for Huddersfield boss André Breitenreiter.

In all likelihood, The Terriers will probably go for a 3-5-2 formation for the game with Lee Nicholls, Brodie Spencer, Michal Helik, Matty Pearson, Sorba Thomas, Ben Wiles, Alex Matos, David Kasumu, Jaheim Headley, Rhys Healey and Bojan Radulovic.

ℹ️ Team News: Millwall

With a completely injury-free group available for selection, the Millwall manager Neil Harris doesn’t have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this match.

We’re of the thinking that The Lions might play in a 4-4-2 formation, giving starts to Matija Sarkic, Ryan Leonard, Japhet Tanganga, Jake Cooper, Danny McNamara, George Honeyman, Casper De Norre, George Saville, Duncan Watmore, Zian Flemming and Michael Obafemi.

✨ Prediction

Our thinking is that Millwall will manage to breach the defence of this Huddersfield Town team, however that possibly won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We reckon that it will be a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Huddersfield Town when all is said and done. There looks to be little in this one.
