History of the Huddersfield Town v Brighton & Hove Albion fixture

Brighton & HA face a trip to Huddersfield Town at Galpharm Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Seagulls will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2008, the Terriers carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League One match.
