The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Birmingham City are in the 16th position while the guesting Huddersfield Town worry at 22nd.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Birmingham and Huddersfield Town.
Birmingham City form and stats
When playing at home in the Championship, Birmingham City have managed 6 wins, 6 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 19 games.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Birmingham City, who played 3-3 against Hull City. That match was also played at this venue (St. Andrew's Stadium). Preceding that game was the away draw at West Bromwich Albion that finished 0-0.
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Hull City as Gary Gardner's goal in the 88th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
This is expected to be a close game, with Birmingham perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Birmingham City as a small favourite), we find 18 games. Birmingham City has won seven of these, drawn eight and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Birmingham City as they are travelling to their away game against Fulham in the Championship. That match is three days after this one.
The Birmingham fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 30 goals in 19 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Birmingham defense is not exactly impregnable. 32 goals conceded from 19 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Huddersfield Town form and stats
There's been little loot from Huddersfield Town's travels as they have only collected 16 points from 19 away games in the Championship. Huddersfield Town only have 4 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 4 draws. It's a growing despair in Huddersfield as they have recorded three consecutive losses. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on D. Cowley, the Huddersfield manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Huddersfield play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-3 to Nottingham Forest (placed 4th). A 0-2 loss hosting Wigan Athletic before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Huddersfield Town in our archives, and the results are: one win for Huddersfield, two draws and three defeats.
After this away game Huddersfield return home for a Championship game against Preston North End. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The visiting Huddersfield have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 22 goals from 19 games. Huddersfield have conceded 36 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Huddersfield Town - Birmingham 1-1 earlier this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Birmingham victories, five draws and three Huddersfield Town wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, eight matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
