Match Stats

The club boasts a storied history, although its main achievements occurred nearly a century ago. More recently, under David Wagner, they managed an unexpected promotion from the Championship and spent two consecutive seasons in the Premier League. However, the "Terriers" have since fallen, finishing second-to-last in the Championship in 2024, which led to their relegation to League One.


The clear objective for Michael Duff, the new manager, is to secure a return to the Championship. After starting the season with three wins, Huddersfield suffered five defeats in their next six matches. However, the team has since avoided losses (excluding cup matches) and is steadily climbing the table, albeit not rapidly due to a high number of draws. Their most recent draw came against Blackpool, and they lost 0-1 to Bolton.


Birmingham is a well-known club, notably winning the League Cup in the early 2010s—a competition often overlooked by the top teams. However, they couldn’t savor their triumph for long, as they were relegated to the Championship just days later. Unlike previous drops, they have struggled to return to the Premier League. Last season’s promotion attempt ended in disappointment, with the club instead falling further, relegating to League One.


Unwilling to accept this fate, Birmingham avoided a summer sell-off and instead bolstered their squad, making several record-breaking signings for League One. While they currently lead the division, they are not dominating it outright. In their most recent match, they secured a pragmatic 1-1 draw against their closest rivals, Wrexham.
