  • Competition: England - League One
  • Date: Tuesday, 28th, January 2025
  • Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
  • Venue: John Smith's Stadium (Huddersfield)

Birmingham are set to visit John Smith's Stadium on Tuesday for a clash with Huddersfield, looking to keep their spot at the top of the League One standings.

Huddersfield Town’s remarkable 16-game unbeaten league streak, which included 10 triumphs and six draws, was brought to an end by Bolton Wanderers, who edged them out by the smallest of margins on their own turf. That Saturday collapse disrupted their pursuit of the spots leading to automatic promotion, leaving the Terriers in fourth place, just seven points behind second-ranked Wycombe, but with a game in hand.

On the opposite end, Birmingham City have made it clear that they are desperate to return to where they fell off last season, and things are currently going according to plan, as they lead the League One table with 57 points, two points ahead of Wycombe in second, with two games in hand. In a tricky away match at the weekend, the Blues managed to salvage a point against title-chasing fellow Wrexham in a 1-1 draw in the "Hollywood derby", with the result ending their a excellent four-game winning streak in all tournaments.

Huddersfield Town vs Birmingham City Betting Tips: UNDER 2.5

Ahead of the league leaders' visit, Huddersfield are not in the best of spirits, as their recent performances have been far from impressive, with just one win from their last five third-tier matches. The Saturday 0-1 collapse to Bolton meant that the Terriers extended their winless streak to three home matches, and what’s worse, they’ve encountered difficulties in scoring, not managing to find the net in their last two home fixtures. Due to their strong defensive resilience and uninspiring attack, Birmingham have often been included in low-scoring affairs recently, with seven of their last 10 competitive contests ending with fewer than two goals. The season’s first encounter between the two teams was settled by just one goal, and considering neither of them dazzled offensively, we believe another quiet contest is on the cards.

Huddersfield Town team news

25-year-old midfielder Benjamin Wiles was taken off in the 36th minute of his team's 0-1 defeat to Bolton Wanderers, leaving uncertainty about the severity of the injury and whether he will be ready for Tuesday's game.

Among other things, Oliver Turton's availability will also need to be assessed, as the experienced defender was forced to leave the pitch in the 60th minute due to discomfort.

Birmingham City team news

In contrast, Birmingham City came through unscathed during the "Hollywood derby" against Wrexham, meaning manager Chris Davies can field the same starting XI as in the weekend's match.

However, Lee Buchanan, Seung-ho Paik, Willum Thor Willumsson, and Emil Hansson remain sidelined due to injuries, while former Celtic midfielder Tomoki Iwata returns to the squad after recovering from a short-term injury.
