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

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.
