Norwich host Huddersfield in a captivating Championship matchup. The Canaries, who are usually masters of this division in recent years, have gotten off to the worst possible start. The recent loss to Hull City has left them in the last place of the league, having taken just a point from their first three games. Marcelino Nuñez played an impressive game last time out against Hull, but it wasn’t enough as the hosts keep seeing their defence betraying them, in what has been an endemic issue for Dean Smith’s side. Specifically, Norwich have conceded four goals in their last two games, while they have not managed to keep a clean sheet in their last eleven competitive games. In their time of desperation though, they can draw encouragement from their recent record against Huddersfield, whom they have beaten in four of their last five games at the Carrow Road, with an aggregate score of 18-2. 

After enduring an equally bad start to the season, last season’s play-off finalists Huddersfield picked up a much-needed 3-1 home victory against Stoke, which ensured the Terriers’ first points of the new campaign. The visitors have defensive issues of their own and they have become more apparent in recent games. Before their win against Stoke, they were thrashed 4-1 by Preston for the League Cup, while they have conceded in nine consecutive games and seven consecutive away from home. Huddersfield have had a really poor tradition lately at the Carrow Road, where they will be eager to improve a recent record that consists of scoring just two goals in their last five outings there.
