Huddersfield Town suffered a blow in their quest for automatic promotion after losing to Millwall on Wednesday and will go into their home match against Bournemouth looking to bounce back. The two sides are separated by three points in the Championship standings. Bournemouth are second with 66 points and Huddersfield third with 63. Huddersfield have gone winless in their last three matches and have lost a bit of their defensive shape, conceding twice in each of the three matches. The 2-0 loss to Millwall was however the first time in five matches that they failed to score; in three of the last five matches they’ve scored two or more goals. They are however unbeaten in their last eight Championship matches at home and in the run up to this game, they’ve kept three clean sheets in the last five home league matches. Huddersfield Town have scored in nine of their last 10 home league matches. They have one win in the last 10 meetings with Bournemouth.

Bournemouth have been dominant in this fixture, and go to this game having beaten Huddersfield Town in each of the last five meetings. The last time the two met it ended 3-0 and Bournemouth, going into this clash with three games in hand, will want to make it count. Second place is achievable for Bournemouth, and they can still challenge for the title, being 11 points behind Fulham but with two games in hand. They however need to improve on their run of just one win in the last four matches. Ahead of this game, Bournemouth conceded a late goal to draw 1-1 with Reading, failing to build on a 2-0 win over Derby County earlier. The visitors have however scored in each of their last seven matches, in four of them two or more goals. In their last 10 matches, Bournemouth have conceded more than a goal in just one - the 2-1 loss to Preston. They have three wins and two clean sheets in the last five away Championship matches.
