Huddersfield Town vs Cardiff City Prediction: Cardiff look good on paper

The Terriers are set to host Cardiff City on Saturday at Kirklees Stadium. Cardiff is managed to win one of their last three away league games (W1 L1 D1) except for defeat (1-2) last season against Huddersfield. Would Huddersfield be able to survive Cardiff City's challenge this time?

Huddersfield Town Form

The Terries are struggling at home this season as they managed to win only one of their five home league games. They lost their last two back-to-back home games against Wigan (1-2) and Blackpool (0-1) recently. Before that they played a draw (2-2) against West Brom.

In the last three games at home, they have scored just 3 goals against their visitors and conceded 5 in return. At away, the situation is even worse as they didn't win a single game (L3) yet. With 4 points in 8 games, they are at 23rd position in the table.

They have netted 8 goals so far this season and conceded 13 in return. Faustino Anjorin is the team’s top scorer with 2 goals in 8 games followed by Danny Ward (2), and Yuta Nakayama (1) respectively.

Nicholls; Lees, Helik, Mbete-Tabu; Turton, Kasumu, Rudoni, Nakayama; Holmes, Ward, Thomas. 

Cardiff City’s From

They registered their first away win of the season by defeating (3-2) Middlesbrough. Before that, they lost two back-to-back away games against Millwall (2-0), and Bristol (2-0) with the same margin. Their away form is a matter of concern because they just managed to win once (W1 L3 D1) in their 5 outings.

At home, they somehow did better than away by winning (W2 D1 L1) two out of four league games. They were unbeaten at home, but Luton break their winning streak in the last game by beating (1-2) them.

Cardiff is at 15th position with 11 points in 9 games. They have netted 7 goals so far this season and conceded 10 in return. Callum O’Dowda is the team’s top scorer with 2 goals and 2 assist followed by Romaine Sawyers (2), and Perry Ng (1) respectively.
