Last updated : 01 October 2004 By Footymad Previewer
History of the Huddersfield Town v Walsall fixture

Huddersfield play host to Walsall at Sir Alfred McAlpine Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Terriers have a healthy record in the fixture, winning 6 from 11 meetings.

The last time the two teams met at Huddersfield was just over four years ago, in March 2000, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Huddersfield Town have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. A total of 9 goals have been scored by the Terriers in those games, with 5 conceded.

The away form of Walsall is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Saddlers have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Huddersfield's 14 points from 10 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Walsall are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 10 points from their 10 games thus far.
