Cardiff are heading into the match on the back of a 2-1 win away to Rotherham United on Thursday night thanks of Kion Etete’s 11th-minute opener and Cedric Kipre’s winner three minutes from time. It was the Bluebirds’s 13th league-win of the season and the result extended their unbeaten streak to three matches, collecting seven points in the process. Sabri Lamouchi’s side have sealed their stay in the second tier for at least one more season, as they are five points clear of the drop zone and the the bottom-three clubs have only one match left to play. After the game against Huddersfield, Bluebirds will take on champions Burnley at Turf Moor on the final match day, and they will be hoping to end the season with a five-game unbeaten streak.

Huddersfield, on the other hand, still has work to do in order to ensure their Championship status for one more season. The Terriers are level on points Reading, who are occupying the final relegation spot, but Neil Warnock’s side have two games in hand over the bottom three. Meanwhile, Huddersfield’s final match of the season will be against the Royals and it could prove to be a do-or-die battle if they fail to take at least four points from their next two matches against Cardiff and second-placed Sheffield United. Appointment of Warnock as the manager has had an overwhelming positive effect on the team as the former Cardiff manger has successfully lifted the team out of the drop zone and now the Terriers’s faith is in their own hands.
