Our prediction for this Championship match:
Huddersfield Town will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to the likes of Derby County and Preston when they take on Birmingham City on Matchday 34. The Terriers continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, and the fact that they hammered Swansea City 4-1 in their last home game is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Birmingham City.
All Rolando Aarons, Carel Eiting, Josh Koroma, Tommy Elphick, and Harry Toffolo are out of contention with injuries, while Jaden Brown is banned. The Blues, on the other hand, did well to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Norwich City, with the team beating QPR 2-1 at home ground. Both sides are desperate to escape the danger zone, and seeing that they are likely to go for a win in the relegation six-pointer, both teams to score betting option should be considered. There are no absentees in the away team.
