Birmingham City
WWWWLD
In their last game, Birmingham City drew 0-0 in the League One tie with Crawley Town.
Birmingham City have been dangerous up front in the lead-up to this encounter, having scored 15 times in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Chris Davies will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Birmingham City have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same clashes. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily be continued here, though.
Heading into this fixture, Birmingham City are unbeaten in their last 3 league matches away from home.

Team News: Burton Albion
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Burton Albion manager Gary Bowyer to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Geraldo Bajrami (Cruciate ligament injury) is out of contention.

Birmingham City manager Chris Davies has not got a full squad to pick from. Seung-ho Paik (unknown injury), Ethan Laird (Hamstring injury) and Lee Buchanan (Knee injury) won’t be making appearances.

Prediction
We feel that Burton Albion will likely be able to find the net against this Birmingham City side, but a single goal may not quite be enough to avoid a loss.
We’re therefore expecting a 1-2 winning score for Birmingham City when the referee blows the final whistle. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
