History of the Blackpool v Huddersfield Town fixture

Huddersfield face a trip to Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Terriers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 20 and win only 6 of the 39 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2006, with Huddersfield inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Seasiders in a League One match.
