Huddersfield Town Preview – Another defeat for the lowly Terriers?
Huddersfield are looking nervously over their shoulder in the Championship table. Carlos Corberan has had a tough first season at the John Smith’s Stadium, guiding the Terriers to ten wins from 34 league games. They have lost 17 and drawn seven of the other 24.
Town have lost four of their last six in the Championship and have picked up just one league victory since a 2-1 home win over Blackburn Rovers on 29th December. After back-to-back away losses to Derby County and Preston North End, Huddersfield did manage to draw 1-1 with Birmingham City at the John Smith’s on Tuesday night.
Huddersfield cruised past Swansea at home two weeks ago, but this will be a stern test against the league’s form team. The bookies have the home victory priced at 5/2.
Cardiff City Preview – Bluebirds to continue superb run?
Before Mick McCarthy took over the managerial reigns at the Cardiff City Stadium in late January, Cardiff City had lost six league and cup games in a row. They were in 15th spot and miles away from the play-offs.
However, it has been a remarkable turnaround under Big Mick. After ten games played, Cardiff have won seven and drawn three. Last time out, goals from Leandro Bacuna (2), Kieffer Moore and Will Vaulks gave the Welsh outfit a convincing 4-0 home win over Wayne Rooney’s Derby County.

At the John Smith’s Stadium last season, Cardiff picked up all three points with a comfortable 3-0 win. With Town in poor form, while City are flying at present, we fancy a similar outcome on Friday. Back the away team to win to nil, which is available at 13/5.
Kieffer Moore, who netted a brace in the reverse fixture, has had an outstanding first season at the Cardiff City Stadium. The Wales international has netted 16 Championship goals, including eight in his last ten. Back Moore to score first in this one at 7/2.
