History of the Port Vale v Huddersfield Town fixture

Huddersfield face a trip to Port Vale at Vale Park 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 11 and win only 4 of the 20 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League One match.
