Huddersfield Town vs Coventry City Head-to-Head

This will be only the 17th meeting between the sides and Huddersfield Town have the slightly better record.

The Terriers have eight wins and three draws to their name, while Coventry City were victorious in five previous games.

Their most recent meeting came on 16 December 2020 in a largely forgettable goalless draw.

Huddersfield Town have been in poor form which has seen them pick up just one win from their last eight league games. Coventry's defeat to Preston halted a run of three consecutive victories.
