Birmingham vs Huddersfield
28th October 1945hrs
Football – England – Championship
Pick Huddersfield to win
Bookmaker William Hill
Odds: 6/4 odds taken 04:25 GMT, Tuesday, 27th October
The Blues are badly in need of a win. They haven’t found one in any of their last six league fixtures now.
It has been only one point taken from their last three games as well. Will they be able to dig out three points at home on Wednesday?
They will be facing a Huddersfield side who just had a very good streak of form snapped with a loss. But the Terriers look as if they will be a big threat.

Birmingham Preview – Can the Blues find a win?
It is a W1 D4 L2 record that Birmingham have taken this season in the Championship.
The win they took was in their first match of the campaign. That was a 1-0 win over Brentford at St Andrews.
It is a run of six without a victory since then. Birmingham have only taken a D2 L1 record in their last three fixtures.
The Blues haven’t hit the back of the net in any of their last three games either. They have tallied only three goals in their seven games this season.
Not one of their games have made it over 2.5 goals yet and only two of their seven have actually gone over 1.5 goals.
So for Championship football betting it reasonable enough to expect this season to be a low scoring fixture on Wednesday.
Under 1.5 goals is at 6/4 odds* (odds taken 04:25 GMT, Tuesday, 27th October). Two of Birmingham’s three home games have gone under that line.
Wycombe are the only team to have scored fewer goals than what Birmingham have managed in this season’s Championship so far.
But there is a flip side to that. The defence of the Blues has only shipped four goals, the third-best record in the division after seven rounds of action.
For football betting on this fixture we are also going to have a look at a decent option on the half time draw as well.
Six of the seven goals that have been scored in league action at St Andrews this season have come in the second half of games.
Birmingham too, have not been trailing at the break in any home game in this campaign.
So a half time draw looks to be a solid option to consider at 10/11* (odds taken 04:25 GMT, Tuesday, 27th October).
Birmingham lost heavily at home against Huddersfield in last season’s corresponding Championship meeting. The Blues are winless in four against them (all competitions).
Huddersfield Preview – A chance for Terriers to return to winning ways?
There would appear to be a decent chance for Huddersfield to get back into their winning ways in midweek.
The Terriers had put together an excellent run of a W3 D1 in four games before falling at home against Preston on the weekend.
In their last away game Huddersfield claimed a very good 2-1 success at top-seven side Swansea.
That was their first away success of the campaign and it moved them on to a W1 D1 L1 record for the season on the road.
Huddersfield are on a five match scoring streak in the league, which has been a far better output than that of Birmingham’s.
But there has only been the two clean sheets from Huddersfield in their seven league fixtures.
The Terriers are going as the 9/4 underdogs in Championship football betting on Wednesday* (odds taken 04:25 GMT, Tuesday, 27th October).
But they don’t look as if they can be that easily discounted from picking up those three points.

Huddersfield are averaging a goal per away game in this campaign, which may be enough to edge past a low-scoring Blues side.
All three of the league wins that the Terriers have recorded this season have been taken by a one goal margin.
A Huddersfield 1 goal winning margin is a 7/2 option* (odds taken 04:25 GMT, Tuesday, 27th October).
The Terriers have scored the opening goal in four of their seven league matches this season, but have been level at the half time break in five.
So again, that half time draw betting option does look a viable one to pick out.
Birmingham vs Huddersfield Betting Advice
The Blues can’t be trusted enough to get the support in our opinion and that is why we are going to swing with the away win.
Birmingham just aren’t hitting the back of the net and have not done so in any of their last three league outings.
So it may not take much attacking prowess from the visitors to actually knock them over. A Huddersfield away win is at 9/4* (odds taken 04:25 GMT, Tuesday, 27th October).
Key Facts – Birmingham vs Huddersfield Betting Tip
- Birmingham have not scored in their last three league games
- Birmingham are winless in six league matches
- Huddersfield are unbeaten in four matches against the Blues
Because Birmingham have put out a decent defensive effort this season, we don’t see Huddersfield rolling up and hammering them.
With that in mind we think the value of a Huddersfield 1 goal winning margin at 10/3 has to present decent value* (odds taken 04:25 GMT, Tuesday, 27th October).
