Birmingham City, Recent FormBirmingham City will not be too disheartened with their 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Ipswich Town who sit 15 places above them in the table. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Ipswich Town's tally of 26 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Birmingham recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Southampton, Recent FormAny Southampton pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 home defeat by Millwall. In that game they had 81% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Millwall who had 8 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, and this season they have scored in 16 of their 17 games played on the road.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Ché Adams will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Southampton.
