Cardiff City will look to extend their 16-game unbeaten streak over Huddersfield Town when the sides square off at the John Smith's Stadium on Wednesday.
The hosts, meanwhile, are currently fifth in the EFL Championship standings with 53 points from 33 games and could rise to third place with all three points.
Huddersfield Town returned to winning ways in the EFL Championship last Saturday as they claimed a 2-1 win over Fulham.
Carlos Corberan’s men are now unbeaten in each of their last 15 games in all competitions, stretching back to November’s 2-1 loss against Middlesbrough.
With 53 points from 33 games, Huddersfield Town are currently fifth in the league table, level on points with QPR.
Meanwhile, Cardiff City were denied a second consecutive win last time out as they played out a 1-1 draw with Blackpool.
With 36 points from 32 games, the Bluebirds are currently 19th in the EFL Championship table.
However, Cardiff City will feel confident of coming away with the desired result on Wednesday as they face an opposing side who they are unbeaten against in each of the last 16 meetings between the sides.
