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
The story so far in the Championship for Birmingham City at their home stadium (St. Andrew's Stadium) is 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats. With Birmingham City having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager Eustace.
It's back home for Birmingham, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Swansea City away with the result 4-3. Jutkiewicz, Chong, Trusty and Hogan found the net in that victory. Sweet to taste a league win after five fixtures without. A goal frenzy last time out for Birmingham City, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Swansea City. Fun stuff to watch!

Preceding that result, a home loss in the FA Cup against Blackburn Rovers (after extra-time).
Scoring bonanza? We don't know about this one, but we do know that 9 of the 11 latest league matches with this side has seen three goals or more.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Cardiff City are coming to town in four days.
Birmingham City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 15 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Birmingham have conceded 18 goals.
