Cardiff City’s trip to Huddersfield is the footballing highlight on Friday ahead of a hectic derby-laden weekend.
Mick McCarthy’s men have been on a brilliant run of form, since losing 1-0 at home to QPR towards the end of January they’ve gone on a 10-match unbeaten run which is no mean feat in the Championship.
By contrast, Huddersfield’s 4-1 win over Swansea two weeks ago was their only win this year. The Terriers played a fairly indifferent 1-1 draw against Birmingham but are still in danger of being drawn in to a relegation battle.
The Bluebirds, who haven’t lost to Huddersfield in 14 meetings, look a good price at 21/20.
Looking ahead to the weekend and the Manchester Derby could see City all but clinch the Premier League title with a win over their city rivals.
There’s also a crucial derby in Madrid where Atletico and Real are vying for the La Liga tile. Diego Simeone’s men hold a five-point lead over Real with a game in hand so it could be defining match in the destination of the title.
Saturday’s edition Der Klassiker doesn’t have the same weight of importance as usual due to the 13 poin gap between Bayern and Dortmund but with RB Leipzig breathing down Bayern’s neck a win is crucial nonetheless.
