Championship: Huddersfield Town vs Derby County
At 3:45 a.m. Beijing time on February 3, 2022, the 30th round of the Championship, Huddersfield Town will play derby County at home. Huddersfield's performance this season has risen very significantly, the team is still struggling for relegation last season, and after 29 league rounds this season, it has achieved 12 wins, 9 draws and 8 losses, ranking 7th in the league with 45 points, the same points as West Bromwich And Middlesbrough 2 teams in the promotion play-off area, which shows that the promotion opportunity is close at hand, and the team's intention to grab points is not lacking. From the data point of view, Huddersfield scored 38 in 29 league rounds, conceded 34 goals, and the offensive and defensive performance was acceptable.
Huddersfield have been very stable in recent years, have been unbeaten in 10 consecutive regular matches, the team last round of league home against Stoke City, 43% of the possession, 13 shots on goal 5 shots on target, Koroma's goal took the lead to break the deadlock on the field, but due to defensive problems, the second half of the goal was lost, and finally the two sides shook hands 1-1. It is worth noting that Huddersfield's defensive stability is obviously insufficient, and has conceded goals in 4 consecutive games, which has seriously affected the team's performance.
Derby County this season can be said to be a lot of disasters, before the start of the season, the team is still full of ambition, but due to the club's financial problems have been deducted 21 points, the current 28 rounds of league, the team only has 15 points left, from the safety zone is 7 points, if within the remaining schedule, can not grab more points in time, I am afraid that next season will be in League One! Even if Derby County is still headed by Wayne Rooney, with the current state of the team, Rooney may not be able to change its decline in the short term.
Derby County's recent results have not been satisfactory, with two consecutive games without winning, the team last round of the league home against Birmingham, 60% possession, 16 shots on goal and 6 shots on target, 2 goals behind, with The Goal of Puranci and Billik at the end of the game, the team finally drew 2-2. It is worth noting that Derby County's away results this season have been very bad, with 2 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats in 14 away games, and they are 21st in the league away.
In terms of past encounters between the two teams, Huddersfield have played derby County in the last 10 times, with 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, and the past performance is obviously inferior to the opponents, and the first leg of this season has become a 1-1 draw between the two sides. In terms of recent developments, Huddersfield have been stable in recent times, unbeaten in many consecutive games, and there is no shortage of points to be grabbed, but the problem of the defensive end has yet to be solved; and the Derby County house leak is in the overnight rain, due to the deduction of points, the team fell into the relegation zone, which seriously depressed the morale of the team.
