Birmingham City hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 23 points and a 18th position in the Championship table. Visiting Blackburn Rovers holds 14th place with 29 pts.
- Birmingham City has the most dropped points from leading position (16) in Championship
- Blackburn Rovers has the most scored goals (36) in Championship
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Birmingham and Blackburn Rovers.
Birmingham City form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Championship this season. Birmingham City, who have the most conceded goals (19) at home in Championship, have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses from their games here at St. Andrew's Stadium. With seven home Championship games in a row without a win, the Birmingham City fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Huddersfield Town game long ago, can be stopped today.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 255 minutes without scoring a league goal. M. Colin was the last player to find the net.
The Birmingham crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-4 to Derby County here at St. Andrew's Stadium in a Championship match. 0-0 away at Nottingham Forest before that.
Birmingham were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Birmingham City here at St. Andrew's Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 11 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Birmingham defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Blackburn Rovers form and stats
There's been little loot from Blackburn Rovers's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 11 away games in the Championship. Blackburn Rovers, who have the most scored goals (36) in Championship, only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Blackburn's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Blackburn lost away at Huddersfield Town (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Sheffield Wednesday.
Blackburn are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 18 times in 11 away games so far. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 15 goals have been conceded by Blackburn Rovers in these games.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Birmingham City won three, Blackburn Rovers won one and six draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, six matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
