Huddersfield Town will host Birmingham City at the John Smith's Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2024-25 League One campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league of late but remain hopeful of securing a spot in the promotion playoffs as they sit fourth in the table with 48 points from 26 matches.
They suffered a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Bolton Wanderers in their last match and could have no major complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the contest.
Birmingham City have performed well in the English third tier this season and remain favorites for automatic promotion to the Championship. They played out a 1-1 draw against third-place Wrexham last week, falling behind after just nine minutes before Scotland international Lyndon Dykes leveled the scores minutes later with his first league strike for the Blues.
