Pretty much certain Reading must win both their last two games
IF Reading win both games 1-0, and Cardiff lose their last two with
a total of -5, Reading would finish above Cardiff on goals-scored
Therefore I really think Cardiff will go for the win versus Huddersfield
If Huddersfield were to win, say, 0-2 then Cardiff would still
be on 49 points with a GD of -15, going to Burnley
Didn't Cardiff miss a "certain" PO place a few seasons back
(on GD) by losing 6-0 at Preston? 5-0 was OK, 6-1 was OK...
but they contrived to lose 6-0
Reading, if the were to win their last two games 1-0 would be on
49 points and -18 GD
Thus Cardiff won't want to risk losing to Huddersfield and maybe
(not impossible) getting tonked at Burnley 3-0 or worse.
No, I am NOT saying Cardiff will lose to Huddersfield or get tanked at Burnley
but I AM saying, they must "presume" Reading will win their last two games
and also realise getting a point at Burnley ought to be difficult.
They could "play for a draw" versus Huddersfield, but that is very dangerous
