Huddersfield Town travel to Cardiff City on late Wednesday in the Championship.
The visitors come into the game on the back of a draw in their last match, having tied with Leeds United 1-1 at home, with a goal from Michal Helik.
The Bluebirds, meanwhile, won their last match, 1-0 against Bristol City, with their goal scored by Perry Ng.
Huddersfield are 22nd in the table after 35 games, of which they have won eight and drawn 14, earning 38 points.
Cardiff are 11 places ahead of Town in 11th, with 14 wins and five draws putting them on 47 points.
In the last 10 years, Cardiff and Huddersfield have played each other on 17 occasions. Cardiff won 10 of them, Huddersfield three, and they drew four times.
On average, the Bluebirds scored 1.8 goals and the Terriers 0.7 in those matches.
Their last meeting was on October 24, when Cardiff won 4-0 away.
With 40 goals in 35 games so far this season, City are scoring at below the league average rate with 1.1 goals per game. And they are conceding at an average rate, letting in 48 goals at a rate of 1.4 per game.
The Terriers are also below average scorers, with 1.2 goals per game, compared to a league average of 1.4. They have conceded 1.6 goals per game.
The Bluebirds are in mixed form in the Championship, with two wins and a draw from their last six games.
With three wins and a draw over that period, the visitors’ form is better – they have taken 10 points from 18, compared to the home team’s seven.
Wednesday’s match will be refereed by Matt Donohue, who has taken charge of 21 Championship games so far this season, issuing one red card and booking 90 players. He has awarded three penalties.
The last Huddersfield game Donohue refereed was the 4-0 win at home against Sheffield Wednesday on February 3. He is yet to oversee a match featuring Cardiff this season.
