Huddersfield suffered a 1-0 loss at Fulham over the weekend in what was a big survival scrap. That left Huddersfield on a seven-match losing streak in the Premier League. They have posted a W1 D2 L7 record in their home games this season in the EPL. They have collected a defeat in each of their last three at the John Smith’s Stadium.
Huddersfield have come up with just the four goals in their top-flight home fixtures this season. Three of those four cropped up in the first half of their home games. Only 30% of league games there have gone over 2.5 goals. Huddersfield have conceded 14 goals in their ten home fixtures.
64% of their home goals conceded have been in the first half of matches so they get themselves into holes early in fixtures. They have not earned a clean sheet in any of their last seven top-flight outings (home and away combined). The Terriers have been losing at halftime in exactly half of their home games this term.

Burnley News and Form
The Clarets put in a good performance over the weekend to take a 2-0 home win over West Ham. That was a big result for them and puts them within touching distance of getting out of the drop zone. The Clarets though have still suffered six losses in their last eight game s(W2). They have posted an away record of just W1 D2 L7 this season, the lone success coming at Cardiff back in September.
Since then they have managed only the one point in their last six road games. A lack of away goals has hurt them as they have only scored seven on their travels. They have conceded an average of just over two goals per game on their travels just compounding their problems really. The Clarets have no clean sheet in their last three away games in the Premier League.
In six of their of their ten games on the road this season in the top flight, Burnley have been level at the halftime break. They have been losing at halftime in their other four. Burnley have conceded 67% of their away goals in the second period of matches. Of the fourteen second-half away goals they have conceded, eight of them have been in the final fifteen minutes of matches. So that is the period when they are clearly the most vulnerable.
