Cardiff City host Huddersfield at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday (November 6) in the EFL Championship, looking to end their miserable run and return to winning ways.

Since beating Nottingham Forest in mid-September, the Bluebirds have gone winless in their next 10 games, losing a staggering nine.

Head coach Mick McCarthy was given the boot last week and the club is still looking for a replacement.

Huddersfield, meanwhile, are in seventh place with 25 points from 16 games, 13 clear of their Welsh rivals.

However, their form has been patchy recently, losing 3-0 to Bournemouth and then being held to a 1-1 draw by Peterborough.


Cardiff City vs Huddersfield Head-To-Head

The upcoming clash will be their 80th meeting.

In the previous 79 encounters, Cardiff won 27 times, while Huddersfield emerged on top on 29 occasions.

However, their last victory over the Welsh outfit came way back in January 2003 as Cardiff are currently unbeaten in 15 games against the Terriers, winning 10.
