History of the Hartlepool United v Huddersfield Town fixture

Huddersfield face a trip to Hartlepool United at Victoria Park on Friday evening, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 5 of the 11 previous games, with the hosts winning just 3.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2005, with Huddersfield inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Pools in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Hartlepool United have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Pools have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.

Huddersfield's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Terriers have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Hartlepool U. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 39 points from 34 matches. Huddersfield are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 61 points from 36 games.
