At the John Smith’s Stadium, Huddersfield are unbeaten in four, winning two and drawing two. Prior to that, the Yorkshire club had lost each of their opening five league and cup matches on home soil.
Huddersfield find themselves in 19th place at the moment. Town have won four, drawn four and lost eight of 16. After losing at Preston before the international break, Cowley’s men will want to get back to winning ways this weekend. The home team are the 13/8 favourites to win this one.

Huddersfield Town vs Birmingham City Predictions
Huddersfield Town win: The Terriers have really turned a corner since the Cowley brothers arrived, as Town had been on a downward spiral before then. Four wins since the start of October has got the club moving in the right direction again.
Huddersfield have turned themselves into a tough side to beat on their own patch, with no team winning at the John Smith’s since Sheffield Wednesday left with a 2-0 victory back in mid-September. Town will be hoping to capitalise on Birmingham’s dreadful away form, so have a punt on Huddersfield to win at 13/8.
Karlan Grant has been in sensational form this season. The 22-year-old has helped himself to nine Championship goals, with four of those coming in his last six outings. You can get Grant at the top price of 5/1 to open the scoring in this fixture.
