Cardiff City moved into eighth place in the EFL Championship with a hard-fought win at Luton Town last weekend. Can Neil Harris’ Bluebirds make it back-to-back away victories with three points against Danny Cowley’s Huddersfield Town at the John Smith’s Stadium on Wednesday night? This intriguing fixture could go either way in West Yorkshire.

Huddersfield Town Preview – Can the Terriers make home advantage count for the second time in a week?
Huddersfield Town still have a lot of work to do to ensure Championship survival. The Terriers, who were a Premier League club this time last year, are down in 19th spot at present, six points above the bottom three. With some tough games on the horizon, Huddersfield could do with a home win on Wednesday.
The Cowley brothers have had a positive impact on the club since arriving from Lincoln City several months back, but Town have only won nine of 31 Championship games this term. They have suffered 14 defeats, with only Luton, Barnsley, Wigan Athletic, Stoke City and Queens Park Rangers losing more up until now.
Huddersfield picked up a vital home win last time out, beating QPR 2-0 thanks to second-half goals from Elias Kachunga and Steve Mounie. Town have won two of their last three in the Championship, and three of their last five on home turf. Three points on Wednesday will keep their momentum ticking.
Cardiff City Preview – Will the Bluebirds make it back-to-back away wins in the Championship?
No Championship side have lost fewer games since Neil Harris took over from Neil Warnock in November. The Bluebirds have been beaten just twice in league action during that time, though one of those defeats was a heavy 6-1 reverse against QPR on New Year’s Day.
Cardiff have slowly but surely gone about their business, and the Welsh side are now just four points behind the top six in eighth place. They draw far too many games, but the Bluebirds head to the John Smith’s Stadium having won two of their last three in the Championship.

Cardiff have picked up only three away league wins this term – winning at Nottingham Forest, Sheffield Wednesday and Luton – although all three of those have come since Harris took over. The club from South Wales are knocking on the door of the play-offs, and three points in Yorkshire in midweek could move them even closer.
Huddersfield Town vs Cardiff City Betting Advice
These two sides were both Premier League clubs last term. However, the pair played out two forgettable games, as both top-flight fixtures ended in drab 0-0 draws. Back in August in the reverse Championship fixture at the Cardiff City Stadium, though, the Bluebirds beat the Terriers 2-1, with Junior Hoilett scoring the winner two minutes from time.
Key Facts – Huddersfield Town vs Cardiff City Betting Tip
- Huddersfield are six points clear of the drop zone at present
- Cardiff have lost only one of their previous ten Championship games
- Both sides have won two of their last three league matches
Harris’ side will still be buzzing from last Saturday’s vital win at Kenilworth Road. The Welsh team have been far from prolific on the road, but they have been very hard to beat. I can see Cardiff edging a tight matchup at the John Smith’s Stadium. You can get the away win at 21/10.
Lee Tomlin has been Cardiff’s hero this season, especially under Harris. The midfielder has scored seven times, with three of those coming in his last four appearances. City’s No. 17 is priced at 3/1 to net anytime on Wednesday.
