Struggling Birmingham City will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Leeds United in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Birmingham City form and stats
Overall stats at home this season for Birmingham City are 6-8-5 (wins-draw-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Birmingham City with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Bristol City game, 38 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Birmingham City manager G. Monk might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.In their previous game, the manager G. Monk led his Birmingham City to a defeat in the Championship match away at West Bromwich Albion. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at St. Andrew's Stadium. Prior to that, an away loss at Preston North End.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Championship game versus Sheffield United in only four days. This game is also played here at St. Andrew's Stadium.
The Birmingham City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 26 in 19 matches. 20 goals have been conceded.
