Huddersfield Town Preview – Will the Terriers extend unbeaten run to 16 games?
Huddersfield Town are enjoying an excellent season under Carlos Corberan. Many had them down as relegation fodder before a ball was kicked back in August, but the Terriers have proved their doubters wrong. Town currently sit pretty in fifth on 53 points.
Huddersfield have not tasted defeat since a 2-1 home reverse to Middlesbrough back in November. Since then, Corberan’s men have won eight and drawn seven of 15 league and cup fixtures. Last weekend, goals from Danny Ward and Duane Holmes gave Huddersfield a 2-1 victory at leaders Fulham.
Huddersfield will have their eyes firmly set on the top two, and they could move to within two points of second with victory on Wednesday.
Cardiff City Preview – Can the Bluebirds return to Wales with a positive result?
Cardiff City have improved drastically under new boss Steve Morison. The former Millwall striker took over from Mick McCarthy, who lost eight in a row during his final few weeks at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Since Morison took the wheel, Cardiff have won seven Championship games, which has lifted them 15 points clear of the drop zone. Incredibly, the Welsh team are now closer to sixth than 22nd.

Cardiff have had a fine 2022 so far, losing just three league games. Last time out, they battled hard to earn a 1-1 draw with in-form Blackpool. Can the Welsh team pick up another positive result from this one?
Huddersfield Town vs Cardiff City Betting Advice
When the teams met back in November, Cardiff picked up a narrow win on home soil. Huddersfield took a 12th-minute lead in South Wales, but two late Kieffer Moore goals won the points for the Bluebirds.
Cardiff have a stunning recent record in this fixture, unbeaten in the last 16 meetings (11 wins, five draws). The Terriers’ last success over the Welsh team came way back in 2003.
Key Facts – Huddersfield Town vs Cardiff City Betting Tip
- Huddersfield are unbeaten in 15 league and cup matches
- Cardiff have won four of their last six in the league
- The Terriers have failed to win in 16 attempts against the Bluebirds
Huddersfield are on a remarkable run at present, and Corberan’s men really caught the eye in last weekend’s win over Fulham. However, Cardiff have been a bogey team for the Yorkshire club over the last couple of decades, and we fancy the in-form Bluebirds to hold the Terriers to a draw at the John Smith’s Stadium. The draw and under 2.5 goals is priced at 3/1.
Former Cardiff striker Danny Ward has been superb this season. Ward, who netted the opener at the Cottage last week, is priced at 7/1 to open the scoring against his former club on Wednesday.
