Huddersfield are looking for their first league double over Bristol in nine years
Huddersfield host Bristol City at the John Smith’s Stadium for their final league match of the 2021-22 EFL Championship season.
The Terriers have qualified for the promotion playoffs and come into the last gameweek on the back of a six-game unbeaten run.
However, on each of the last three occasions that Huddersfield have ended the season on home soil, they’ve lost – 5-1 vs Brentford in 2016, 3-0 vs Cardiff and 1-0 vs Arsenal.
Bristol, meanwhile, are down in 17th but are undefeated in their last five games and will hope to end the season on a high note.
But since their 8-2 shellacking of Walsall on the final day of the 2014-15 season, the Robins have failed to win the final game of any of the next six campaigns, losing four.
Huddersfield vs Bristol City Head-To-Head
Huddersfield have won 27 of their previous 62 clashes with Bristol City, losing 24.
After back-to-back losses in the fixture, the Terriers beat the Robins 3-2 in the December reverse.
They’re now aiming for a first league double over them since the 2012-13 season.
