Season ticket holders at John Smith's Stadium haven't seen too many victories this season, with Huddersfield Town languishing in the 19th position so far. The guesting Birmingham City will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Huddersfield Town form and stats
With 2 Championship wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Huddersfield Town are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The fans are hoping that Huddersfield Town will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the Championship game against Preston North End (placed 2nd). Before that match, a win away at Brentford.
This is expected to be a close game, with Huddersfield Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Huddersfield Town as a small favourite), we find eight games. Huddersfield Town has won 2 of these, drawn 4 and lost 2.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Huddersfield Town, as the Championship home game vs Swansea City is only three days away.
The Huddersfield Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. Huddersfield Town have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Birmingham City form and stats
There's been little loot from Birmingham City's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Championship. Birmingham City only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. A depressing four defeats in a row for Birmingham City in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Charlton Athletic.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Championship home defeat versus Fulham with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 2-4 loss visiting Cardiff City's place.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Birmingham City in our archives, and the results are: 6 wins for Birmingham City, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Birmingham City manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Sheffield Wednesday.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Birmingham City have conceded 15 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
