Huddersfield Town vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 27/04/2024, 01:33  by Matthew Newman in Championship Predictions

A relegation battle in the Championship on Saturday afternoon will see Huddersfield host Birmingham City with both clubs starting the match in the relegation zone. There are just two games to play for both so their fate hangs in the balance here. The Terriers will be hoping that there is no late collapse this time as there was last week. 0-0 with Swansea heading into the final 20 minutes of the game, they ended up on the wrong side of a 0-4 scoreline. More disappointing for fans was that they failed to register a shot on target against a team who have shipped 35 on their travels this season. Four wins and two draws in their prior 10 at home ahead of Swansea shows, they are capable on their own soil, but this is do-or-die time.

Birmingham played out a scoreless draw at Rotherham last weekend and a point here would not be the worst result in a game that they simply will not want to lose. It will just mean that they need a positive result at home to Norwich on the final day of the season if they want to retain their Championship status for next season. Birmingham has lost 15 of their 22 away games so far this season, winning three and drawing four, the second-worst away record in the division behind the long-since relegated Rotherham. A win at Stoke on January 20 was the last time they took full points on the road, scoring just four in their eight away league games since.
