Blackpool
WWLWLD
Blackpool will play in this fixture after a 1-1 League One draw vs Wigan Athletic.
The only player to score from Blackpool was Lee Evans (74'). Jon Mellish (3') was the scorer for Wigan Athletic.
It has been all too rare in recent times where Blackpool have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Blackpool have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 7 goals during that time. Even so, we must now wait to see whether that pattern will be maintained here in this game.
Ahead of this meeting, Blackpool haven't been beaten in the league by Birmingham City in their previous 4 matches.
Birmingham City
WLDWWW 📈
Birmingham City come into this meeting following on from a 4-0 League One win against Mansfield Town in their last match.
For Birmingham City, the goalscorers were Keshi Anderson (24'), Willum Þór Willumsson (39'), Kieran Dowell (50') and Tomoki Iwata (57').
Chris Davies's Birmingham City have found the back of the net a total of 11 times throughout their most recent 6 matches. The total of goals that they have conceded during those matches adds up to 6.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Birmingham City:
- are winless against Blackpool in games played away from home for the previous 3 matches in the league.
- are undefeated in their last 5 league matches away from home.
👥 Head to head
Looking at the statistics for their head to head duels stretching back to 04/03/2015, neither club has come out on top overall with Blackpool winning 2 of those games, Birmingham City 2 and 2 being drawn in normal time.
A total of 10 goals were yielded between them in this period, with 7 of them from The Seasiders and 3 for The Blues. That’s an average goals per game of 1.67.
The previous league meeting between these sides was League One match day 23 on 29/12/2024 which ended up with the score at Birmingham City 0-0 Blackpool.
The match was refereed by Lewis Smith.
📋 Team News: Blackpool
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just one fitness concern for the Blackpool manager Steve Bruce to contend with due to a largely intact squad. Andy Lyons (Cruciate ligament injury) will miss out.
📰 Team News: Birmingham City
Birmingham City boss Chris Davies has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Seung-ho Paik (unknown injury) and Lee Buchanan (Knee injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
⚡ Prediction
We’re of the opinion that Blackpool will need to put in a solid display to breach the defence of this Birmingham City lineup who we think should score one, at least.
We’re therefore anticipating a good tussle with a 0-1 win for Birmingham City at the end of the 90 minutes.
Let’s see how this one goes.
