Having maintained their remarkable 26-game League One unbeaten run by claiming a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their play-off semi-final at Bournemouth, Huddersfield appear to have done the hard work and should be trusted to book their place in the final by winning the return tonight at [1.78].

Admittedly, Cardiff probably felt the same way before being comfortably dispatched by Reading in the Championship version, but Bournemouth are in nowhere near as convincing form as the Royals having won just two of their last 13 fixtures and only one in seven on the road.
Also counting against the Cherries, who deserve lots of credit for fighting for automatic promotion and finishing in the top six in their first campaign back in the third tier, is the fact that all six of their travelling triumphs came against struggling sides, their biggest scalp being 17th-placed Tranmere.
The regular season clash between the two at the Galpharm Stadium finished level - as intriguingly have their last three meetings - back in September but Lee Clark's Terriers have become a lot more tenacious at home since, claiming victory in 15 of their last 23 outings in front of their fans.
Huddersfield also boast the second best record of this year's top six in collisions with one another and a major reason for their success in those games was the big-match firepower at their disposal that ensured that they managed to score in every single one of those encounters.
