History of the Huddersfield Town v Scunthorpe United fixture

Huddersfield prepare to entertain Scunthorpe United at Galpharm Stadium on Friday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Terriers are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 3 of the 17 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Galpharm Stadium was just last season, in April 2004, as the Terriers squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a League Division Three match.
