Birmingham City v Huddersfield Town Betting Preview: Latest odds, team news, tips and predictions

Birmingham City welcome Huddersfield Town to St Andrew's in Tuesday night’s FA Cup Fourth Round replay.

Match odds

Lossl HuddersfieldGetty

A Fifth Round clash with Manchester United awaits the winners and that prize might appeal a little more to the hosts, who are 8/5 (2.6) favourites with SportPesa.

The visitors are 39/20 (2.95) to show their top flight pedigree, having beaten their opponents in this competition as a League One club back in 2008.

A draw, which has occurred in three of the last five meetings between these sides, is 21/10 (3.1) .

Team News

Collin Quaner might be given the nod and is 57/20 (3.85) to bag anytime, but left-back Chris Loewe is still injured while midfielder Danny Williams is a doubt.

Fringe player Lukasz Jutkiewicz will look to take his chance and is 51/20 (3.55) to score, but Isaac Vassell is a long-term absentee while Jacques Maghoma is a doubt.

Blues to lead at the break and win

Huddersfield have trailed at half-time on eight occasions this season in both league and cup, and only once have they attained so much as a draw.

By contrast, Birmingham have led at the interval in each of their last two games and both have ended in a 3-1 victory. They are 3/1 (4.0) to capitalize on a half-time advantage once again.

Tips and predictions

Whilst there is value in backing the Blues to win this one, the Birmingham Draw No Bet at 4/5 (1.8)  gives us some insurance.

This will land if the home side are victorious, with the stake returned if the match ends in a draw after 90 minutes.
