Match Preview – 15:00 Kick-Off at St Andrew's, Birmingham

Sunday’s city derby defeat at Aston Villa meant it was 4 defeats from 5 games and no wins in 10 for relegation-threatened Birmingham City. City are in a 21st position in the Championship table, just 2 points clear of Blackburn Rovers in the last relegation place. They have only scored more than 2 goals in a game on one occasion since October 2016 – they are the 3rd lowest scorers in the Championship this season having scored just 42 goals in their 44 games so far.

With just 2 wins from their last 7, promotion-chasing Huddersfield Town have their early season form to thank for their continued stay in the Championship Play-Off places. All things considered, they have enjoyed a terrific campaign and can be forgiven for running out of steam a little in the final few weeks of the season. David Wagner’s team have only kept 1 clean sheet during that sequence of 7 games.

In the reverse Championship fixture between the teams, the points were shared in a 1-1 draw at the John Smith's Stadium. Read our Birmingham City vs Huddersfield Town betting tips below.

Birmingham City vs Huddersfield Predictions

Although Huddersfield Town’s form has stuttered right throughout April, Birmingham City have won just once in 12 fixtures in all competitions at home, leaving them perilously close to exiting the Championship. Huddersfield manage David Wagner will see this fixture as an ideal opportunity to steady the ship a little and I expect his side to come away from St. Andrew’s with the points.

William Hill’s odds of 29/20 for Huddersfield Town to win are worth taking. If you fancy boosting those odds, you can get Huddersfield Town at odds of 10/3 to win to nil. Given Birmingham City’s troubles in front of goal, that offer could be well worth a go.
