Match Preview & Team News

Birmingham City’s performances have been inconsistent lately, so once again they have moved down towards the relegation zone. The gap is still too big to sound the alarms though, being nine points over the red line. In terms of the latest odds, bookmakers have given a small advantage to the home team, which does come as a small surprise. Read our Championship betting tips and predictions below.

Current Form And Home & Away Performances

In their most recent league match, Blackburn Rovers defeated Reading 2-1 at home, which puts them in fifth place on the table with 61 points. However, they remain nine points behind Sheffield United, who currently occupy second place and are in line for promotion. Norwich City is four points behind Blackburn in seventh place, and they are also in the running for the promotion play-offs.

On the other hand, Birmingham City currently sits at 17th place with 45 points, having scored 42 goals and conceded 50. They won their last Championship match 1-0 against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.

The last time Blackburn and Birmingham met in the Championship, Blackburn emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline at Ewood Park in October. The first goal was scored by Sam Gallagher of Blackburn in the 17th minute, followed by Adam Wharton. Birmingham’s Scott Hogan managed to score a goal in the 80th minute, but it wasn’t enough to change the outcome of the match.
