Birmingham faced Huddersfield Town on Saturday and the final score was a 2:1 loss away from home. The team is now on a run of two back-to-back defeats. Playing at home turned out to be of little help across the ten previous Birmingham City games as the hosting party recorded 3 victories and the travelling sides registered 5 triumphs. Two of the team’s last five matches featured over 2.5 goals, and two witnessed goals at both ends of the field. Birmingham City’s defensive efforts proved enough to limit the opposition to no goals in two of these games and they failed to score on their own in two. The total of netted goals by the sides involved across the club’s last five encounters amounts to 14.
