Our prediction for this Championship match:
Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town square off against each other at Cardiff City Stadium in what is expected to be a close Championship clash. The Bluebirds aim to build on back-to-back wins over Stoke City and Bristol City and a triumph over Huddersfield will see them keep their playoffs hopes alive. Both Jak Alnwick and Mark McGuinness are sidelined with injuries, while Kion Etete is a major doubt after limping off with injury against the Robins.
The Terriers, on the other hand, sit in the danger zone ahead of the trip to South Wales. As Huddersfield Town will go for a win in the midweek clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. As for the visiting team, key midfielder Jonathan Hogg is banned for the match, while Yuta Nakayama has joined the likes of Oliver Turton, Josh Ruffels, and Rhys Healey in the treatment room.
Highlighted Team (Cardiff):
Cardiff City are a Welsh football club that compete in the English second tier (Championship). In 2009 they moved from Ninian Park to Cardiff City Stadium, the venue that officially holds 33,280 spectators.
The Bluebirds played their first ever Premier League match on 18 August, 2013, but they were beaten by West Ham United (0-2) on their debut in the English top flight. However, a week later Fraizer Campbell (two goals) and Aron Gunnarson helped Cardiff City record their first ever win in the Premier League.
The Bluebirds outplayed Manchester City back then, but they eventually dropped to the Championship at the end of the season. Fellow Welsh outfit Swansea City are considered Cardiff’s fiercest rivals and the two teams take on each other in the South Wales derby.
The colour of Cardiff City’s home kit is blue, whilst they wear red shirts and shorts when playing on the travels.
