Huddersfield will be hoping to turn the form book upside down when they welcome St Helens to the Galpharm Stadium on Monday.
The Giants have so far managed just two wins in seven matches this season and were beaten away at Warrington on Good Friday.
Both their successes have come on home soil against the two teams currently below them in the table - Hull FC and Castleford.
Now they come up against a Saints side sitting just two points behind Super League leaders Leeds and who come into the game off the back of an impressive peformance against Wigan.
Giants coach Jon Sharp is likely to recall Chris Thorman and George Gatis after the duo both sat out the loss to the Wolves.
The return of skipper Thorman could mean exciting youngster Leroy Cudjoe drops out of the side after filling in at full-back.
Darrell Griffin is available again after completing his one-game ban though Huddersfield have been hit by the loss of Stephen Wild.
The former Wigan Warrior has suffered a dislocated left wrist and could face a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Shane Elford is also missing from the 19-man squad due to a hamstring injury.
Superb Saints
Saints will be hoping to carry on from where they finished on Friday when they hammered local rivals Wigan 46-10 at Knowsley Road.
Sean Long returned after two weeks out with a knee injury to lead the rout, scoring one try, having a hand in three others and also kicking four goals.
The scrum-half will start against the Giants with coach Daniel Anderson likely to keep faith with the team that did so well against the Warriors.
Forwards Jason Cayless and Nick Fozzard are both still sidelined but Chris Flannery is named in the squad.
Huddersfield squad: Thorman, Whaturia, Brown, Robinson, Crabtree, Gatis, Skandalis, Lolesi, Raleigh, Jones, Jackson, Mason, Snitch, Griffin, Hudson, Hemingway, Cudjoe, Lawrence, Jensen.
St Helens squad: Wellens, Gardner, Gidley, Talau, Meli, Pryce, Long, Gilmour, Wilkin, Roby, Bennett, Flannery, Graham, Hargreaves, Clough, Tyrer, Fa'asavalu, Eastmond, Frodsham.
