Birmingham City
Tuesday’s football match at Kirklees Stadium pits together Huddersfield Town and Birmingham City, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Terriers aim to stay in the playoffs berth, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in the midweek clash. All Pipa, Rhodes, Rowe, Schofield, and Vallejo are sidelined with injuries, while Odubeko is a major doubt.
The Blues, on the other hand, are on a six-game winless run in the Championship, and seeing that they failed to find the net in the previous five league fixtures, away win should not be considered. Midfielder Ivan Sanchez is rated doubtful for the visitors, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. In their last meeting in the English second tier the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.
