Birmingham City form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Championship this season. Birmingham City, who have the fewest points (9) at home in Championship, have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses from their games here at St. Andrew's Stadium. Birmingham are slowly digging their own grave here at St. Andrew's Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eleven attempts. The last victory here came in the Huddersfield Town match.

Happy days for Birmingham in their previous game, a Championship match away at Sheffield Wednesday (placed 23rd) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Millwall (0-2).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Queens Park Rangers are coming to town in four days.

Birmingham have scored 9 league goals here from 15 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 24 goals have been conceded.
