Week 34 brings us a match on Feb 25th where Burnley hosts Huddersfield Town in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Championship teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 3 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, 1st placed Burnley, recorded a 1-1 draw against Millwall. Ashley Barnes struck first for Burnley in the 51st minute, then Tom Bradshaw tied it up for Millwall in the 85th minute earning them at least the one point. Burnley is on a hot streak lately, having won 9 of their last 10, while in their last match, 22nd placed Huddersfield Town, recorded a 2-1 win against Birmingham City. Troy Deeney scored the first goal for Birmingham City in the 6th minute, then in the 25th minute, Jaheim Headley sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Joseph Hungbo Finally they completed the comback victory in the 49th minute on a goal by Jaheim Headley to cap off a wild match. Huddersfield Town is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match on the 29th of July, Burnley was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Ian Maatsen scored the first goal for Burnley in the 18th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Huddersfield Town was frustrated by Burnley’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Burnley ended the match with the shutout victory.
Martyn Waghorn and Josh Koroma are the top scorers for Huddersfield Town in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Burnley is fortunate enough to have Nathan Tella in top form. In the last five matches the midfielder has scored 5 goals.
