Huddersfield Town will enter Tuesday's game seeking their second win in four days at home, following their first victory under Darren Moore's leadership. Moore took over as manager last month after Neil Warnock's departure, and the team had accumulated eight points from seven games, including two wins and a draw with Stoke City. Under Moore's guidance, Huddersfield Town extended their unbeaten run with two consecutive 1-1 draws against Coventry City and Ipswich Town. However, their winning streak was interrupted by a 4-1 defeat to Birmingham City, followed by a goalless draw against Sheffield Wednesday. As they head into the October international break, they have recorded 11 points from 11 games, without a win in their last four matches under Moore. They aimed to break this streak in a crucial match against Queens Park Rangers, where they took a 2-0 lead in the first 15 minutes and ultimately secured a 2-1 victory. This win moved Huddersfield Town six points clear of the relegation zone and up to 18th place in the league. They will now focus on their upcoming game on Tuesday with the goal of continuing their climb up the mid-table and gaining more confidence.
Huddersfield Town Predicted Lineup
Nicholls; Pearson, Helik, Lees; Thomas, Rudoni, Hogg, Wiles, Koroma; Burgzorg, Harratt
Cardiff City form
Cardiff City will face off against a Cardiff City side that is looking to overcome a recent slump in form. Under the guidance of new manager Erol Bulut, Cardiff City had a successful start to the season, accumulating 16 points from their first nine matches. They even secured four consecutive league victories, including a convincing 2-0 win against Swansea City. However, their winning streak was interrupted by a 2-0 loss to Middlesbrough, followed by a 1-1 draw against Watford.
In their most recent match against Blackburn Rovers, Cardiff City suffered a 1-0 defeat, leaving them in 11th place in the Championship standings. Now, they are determined to return to winning form and narrow the gap to the playoff positions. Their objective is to obtain their sixth victory of the season.
Cardiff City Predicted Lineup
Alnwick; Ng, McGuinness, Goutas, Colins; Wintle, Ralls, Siopis; Meite, Ugbo, Grant
Huddersfield Town vs Cardiff City Expert Tips
Huddersfield Town can draw confidence from their recent win at home and have an opportunity to secure another three points in a consecutive match against a Cardiff team that is currently lacking momentum. Although the visitors possess a considerable amount of skill, they should be able to prevent a loss during their away game, as they have shown improvement under the management of Bulut this season. We expect this game to be a low-scoring affair with the home side coming on top.
