Birmingham City vs Huddersfield Town Prediction
Birmingham City finished 20th last season and will aim to improve on that position this campaign. They have signed the likes of Przemyslaw Placheta and Dion Sanderson to the squad.
Huddersfield Town, on the other hand, have lost stars from last season like Harry Toffolo and Lewis O'Brien, as well as the manager who led them to third position in the league last season, Carlos Corberan. It will be interesting to see how they address all these absences.
A draw seems to be the most likely result.
Prediction: Birmingham City 0-0 Huddersfield Town
