The Championship game at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium on Friday sees visitors Huddersfield facing home side Birmingham.

Birmingham put a point up on the board in the premiere round of this brand new season, and they'll be hopeful of adding three more come this coming Friday. Huddersfield hope to make amends in their upcoming match after getting through the first round on a sour note with nil points.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Birmingham and Huddersfield are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium as the teams look to get one over each other.

Birmingham scored eight goals, conceded 19 and fought their way to three clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Huddersfield scored 14 goals, conceded seven and managed four clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Birmingham vs Huddersfield Preview

Birmingham just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Championship matches at the St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored six and conceded ten goals.

It has the look of a season in which a relegation battle will play a major part for Birmingham, who naturally dream of extending their stay in the Championship.

Huddersfield won half their previous six away matches in the Championship, as well as seeing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored eight goals whilst conceding six.

A top half finish is the dream target for Huddersfield, although retaining their Championship status has to be the priority.

Huddersfield and Birmingham are almost always cautious, when going toe-to-toe with each other, which makes under 2.5 goals the value bet on Friday.
