Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town go head-to-head at the Cardiff City Stadium in round 45 of the EFL Championship on Sunday (April 30).
The hosts maintained their solid late-season form with a 2-1 win over a dogged Rotherham United side on Thursday. Cardiff are unbeaten in three games, picking up seven points from a possible nine, since a 4-1 loss to Sheffield United on April 15. With 49 points from 44 games, Cardiff are 18th in the Championship, six points above the danger zone.
Huddersfield, meanwhile, turned in a resilient performance, salvaging a 1-1 draw against Sunderland last time out. That followed a 1-0 loss to Swansea City at the Swansea.com Stadium on April 15, snapping their five-game unbeaten run.
The Terriers are on four-game winless streak. With 44 points from 43 games, Huddersfield are 21st in the points table, one point above the relegation zone, albeit with a game in hand.
