BIRMINGHAM - HUDDERSFIELD PREDICTION STATS

Birmingham P9 W3 D2 L4 Pts 11 GF10 GA16 GD-6 Average goals per game: 2.89
Huddersfield P9 W4 D2 L3 Pts 14 GF14 GA11 GD+3 Average goals per game:2.78

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Birmingham are so inconsistant it must be driving coach Lee Clark mad. A 1-0 away win over high flying Brighton precedes a 5-0 home hammering by lowly Barnsley. They put up an admirable fight against a far superior Cardiff side in midweek but went down 2-1 in Wales. Aside from the Barnsley game Birmingham have been pretty solid. Birmingham have a few long term injuries but will be able to pick from a full squad of those that remain.
Huddersfield are on a run of two successive defeats, after a really good spell prior with four wins on the bounce. In the 2-0 home loss to Leicester they were outplayed by a quality outfit. Jermaine Beckford and Joel Lynch will return to Huddersfield's squad.Huddersfield could also be boosted by the return of on-loan pair James Vaughan and Adam Hammill.

1X2 BETTING PREDICTION

3.40 Huddersfield (Willhill)seems a decent price here. Huddersfield now boast a potent attack force which is packed with Premiership quality. Vaughan and Beckford will cause problems for any defence in this division. Birmingham are a team who can get results but they have far too many off days as individuals and as a team.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Huddersfield +0.5 Handicap is the pick here (1.77 188bet) Taking on Birmingham is the call as they are far to erratic a side to trust. Huddersfield invested the Jordan Rhodes cash wisely and they look a decent side. This game is a really close affair and taking Huddersfield and the draw looks a great bet. A fully fit Huddersfield are a better side than a injury struck Birmingham for sure.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Over 2.50 goals 1.96 (Pinnacle) is the bet here.This is a really tight market that the bookmakers cannot seperate both outcomes. The stats point to a slight touch over 2.5, with key players back for both sides and the quality in the front men with Lita, King, Vaughan and Beckford all regular scorers in the Prem we will side with goals here.
