Birmingham City, Recent FormThe Birmingham City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Sheffield Wednesday recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. They came away from that fixture with 63% of the possession and clocked up 25 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Sheffield Wednesday managed 13 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Tony Mowbray will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 4 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at St. Andrew's Stadium, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 5 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 home win over Stoke City in their last league game, Blackburn Rovers will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 36% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Stoke City's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, boss John Eustace will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 10 goals they scored. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 13 games overall.
They have not be performing well away from home with 5 straight defeats on the road.
Sammie Szmodics will be hoping to create problems for Birmingham City in this one, having scored 5 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Blackburn Rovers.
Blackburn Rovers recorded a 4-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
