Huddersfield v Sunderland

Huddersfield vs Sunderland Preview

Huddersfield Town were seemingly on the verge of producing one of the shock results of this Championship season on Saturday afternoon as The Terriers held a 3-2 lead down on the south coast against high-fliers Southampton but Saints as has often been the case in recent times, managed to turn things around and find a way to win, eventually running out 5-3 winners at St Mary's Stadium.

Nevertheless, Huddersfield Town manager Darren Moore would have certainly seen various positives from this loss and the Yorkshire club will now return to their John Smith's Stadium for Wednesday night's clash with Sunderland no doubt seeking to return to the sort of form which brought them a four-match unbeaten run in the Championship.

Huddersfield had previously picked up points by way of draws with the likes of Plymouth Argyle, Blackburn Rovers and QPR along with a resounding 4-0 thrashing of Yorkshire rivals, Rotherham United, in their previous home game.

However, league wins have been hard to come by for The Terriers as they have managed to capture just three victories from their previous 19 matches in the Championship and they face a tough task in keeping visitors Sunderland quiet despite holding home advantage.

Sunderland found themselves a goal down at home to Plymouth Argyle on Saturday afternoon at the Stadium of Light but the Black Cats turned things around by posting three unanswered goals in the second half to not only claim a valuable three points but a second win in three games in the English second tier.

The north-east club had previously registered a 3-1 home win against Stoke City along with picking up a point in a 1-1 draw away from home at north-east rivals, Middlesbrough, while the bigger picture shows Sunderland have lost just four out of their last 13 matches overall.

Within this 13-game sequence, the Black Cats have also collected six wins in the process which includes a 1-0 win away from home at Hull City but the other five victories were achieved on home soil at their Stadium of Light.

Results away from home have been fairly ordinary by comparison to those at home though as Sunderland have managed to record just one win from their previous 10 outings on the road, so if Michael Beale's side are to walk away with all three points here on Wednesday night, the visitors will need to be on the ball at the John Smith's Stadium.

Huddersfield Town v Sunderland Verdict

Sunderland have been a tough opponent for Huddersfield Town in previous exchanges as the visitors have lost just once in their last nine meetings and the Black Cats look to possess a greater threat in the final third.
