After alternating between victories and defeats since late last year, Huddersfield Town halted that pattern last weekend.
And after taking an impressive point at Championship title-chasers Bournemouth, they have a great chance to build on that result as Cardiff City arrive at the John Smith’s Stadium.
Stan James have installed Town as 11/10 favourites to collect the three points while the Bluebirds are BetVictor’s 11/4 outsiders.
And it’s 5/2 with bet365 to prove inconclusive, just as did when the pair last met in Huddersfield, almost two years ago.
That one was goalless, an outcome that’s 9/1 via William Hill to be repeated.
And for punters expecting both teams to find the net (8/11, Stan James), a second consecutive 1-1 scoreline for Town is a 6/1 chance at Winner.com.
Alternatively, bet365 price a score draw at 15/4, it’s 9/2 courtesy of betway for the two halves to end with honours even and in BetVictor’s ‘Draw No Bet’ market, Chris Powell’s men can be backed at odds of 1/2.
The Welsh outfit, however, possess one of the division’s worst away records and are winless in seven across all competitions, so Town should enjoy the upper hand.
They’re 17/2 (BetVictor) to register a 2-1 victory, 29/10 at Ladbrokes to prevail by a one-goal margin and Skybet post 4/1 against them shading a tight affair following an even first period.
In attack for Town, James Vaughan has struck in each if his last three outings so he’ll be well backed at 6/1 with BetVictor to break the deadlock in this one.
Stan James, meanwhile, go 8/11 about any of Powell’s players opening the scoring and a match tally of three or more goals is even money at Paddy Power.
