Saturday 25th August 2018

England Premier League
Saturday 25th August 2018
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: Kirklees Stadium

Match Preview:

Huddersfield will be looking to bounce back from last weekend when they were destroyed 6-1 at Manchester City. It was always going to be a tough ask for David Wagner’s team but conceding six goals could have also affected the teams confidence, we will know more after this game when they take on Premier League newcomers Cardiff City.

Like Arsenal, Huddersfield have had a nightmare fixture list having to face quality such as City away and in the first week Chelsea. As it now transpires that’s two losses 9 goals conceded and just 1 goal scored. The feeling from the club is that their Premier League season starts with this game.

Cardiff City also come into this game without a win after losing at Bournemouth 2-0 and then getting a 0-0 draw at home against Newcastle United. That hard earned point was seen as a step in the right direction, the question is can they build on it?

Huddersfield vs Cardiff Prediction:

In terms of quality there isn’t much between the sides, but Neil Warnock’s Cardiff will have more confidence coming into this game after their dogged display against Newcastle. This match will tell us about the professionalism of the home side to put that heavy defeat to one side and concentrate on beating teams at the same level as themselves. Cardiff are yet to score this season and Huddersfield have only one goal, but we will back the home side to get the three points after a difficult start.
