Cardiff City form and stats

2-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Cardiff City so far this season.

A nice win for Cardiff last time playing, versus Luton Town. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-0 with Sean Morrison, Kieffer Moore and Sheyi Ojo scoring for the victors. Prior to that, an away loss at Coventry City.

As mentioned above, Cardiff "killed" Luton Town in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Cardiff City handle that role? We have found 13 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are seven wins, three draws and three defeats.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Cardiff as they are travelling to their away game against Watford in the Championship. That match is four days after this one.

Cardiff City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. Cardiff City have conceded 7 in these home matches.

Huddersfield Town form and stats

The visitors are W2-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Championship.

Huddersfield go into this game after a win, the home game against Middlesbrough that ended 3-2. Before that, Huddersfield travelled to Wycombe Wanderers and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

We have checked recent matches where Huddersfield have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were two victories, two draws and nine defeats.

A new game in only four days for Huddersfield, the Championship home match versus Queens Park Rangers. Busy days.

The visiting Huddersfield Town have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 10 goals from 7 games. Huddersfield's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's seven Cardiff City victories, three draws and zero Huddersfield Town wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
