The full-season data for the home side covers only one match, so greater weight should be placed on current form: Huddersfield have won 3 of their last 5 matches and averaged 2.4 goals, while MK Dons have won only 20% of their matches and conceded an average of 1.6 goals. The visitors were leading at the break in 75% of their recent matches, while the hosts were trailing at half-time in 40%; additionally, Huddersfield conceded only 0.5 goals per match before the break, compared with 1.2 for MK Dons.

The strongest scenario is therefore Huddersfield leading at half-time and maintaining that advantage through to full-time, although MK Dons’ high average of 3.0 goals across their last five matches leaves room for draw or turnaround outcomes.
