Huddersfield vs Cardiff: Prediction and Betting Tips

Huddersfield must find a way to win

Eight points away from the relegation zone, and with twelve matches still to be played in the season, Huddersfield Town can’t go on with their current form of just one win in their last 12 matches gathering only six points from a possible 36.

 The Terriers have to improve their defense firstly as they have the second-worst defensive record in the league with 51 goals conceded in 34 games. Upfront as well, scoring one goa; in three games was not enough to gain them more than one point in those games.

In their last match, Coach Carlos Corberan’s team managed a draw at home with Birmingham. The Terriers enjoyed more of the ball possession with 57% but their opponents had more goal attempts with 11.

Cardiff in great form

The Bluebirds has so many ups and downs this season regarding their results, but recently they are on a ten-match unbeaten run with seven wins in this run. This run comes after a six-match losing streak in all competitions.

They are now in the promotion playoff spot but have to fight with Bournemouth for it as the latter has one point less than Cardiff and played one match less. With 2.3 goals per match in those ten games, Coach Mick McCarthy’s team has been merciless in front of goal.

In their last match, they beat Derby County 4-0, being lethal in their pressing game and counter attacks as Derby had 73% of possession but only one shot at goal to Cardiff’s 11.
