Recent respective form guides

Swindon Town's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Robins have scored 10, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Huddersfield's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. These low-scoring games have seen just 5 goals scored and conceded.

Swindon Town find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 9 points from their 9 matches. Huddersfield find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 9 points from their 9 matches.
