The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Birmingham City are in the 11th position while the guesting Wycombe Wanderers worry at 23rd.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Birmingham City form and stats
2 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Birmingham City have to build on here at St. Andrew's Stadium in the Championship.
Birmingham enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Preston North End's place. The match ended 2-1 with Gary Gardner and Riley McGree scoring. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Huddersfield Town.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of A. Karanka de la Hoz when Gary Gardner scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 84th minute.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Birmingham, as the Championship home game vs AFC Bournemouth is only three days away.
Birmingham are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Birmingham have only conceded 3 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Wycombe Wanderers form and stats
The manager G. Ainsworth is not happy with the away performances in the Championship so far, as all 4 matches have been lost. It's all red in the travel logs of Wanderers, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
David Wheeler scored in Wanderers's previous match, the home game against Sheffield Wednesday that ended 1-0. A draw for Wanderers before that, at their own venue hosting Watford (1-1).
The schedule is very tough for Wanderers now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Nottingham Forest is waiting in only three days.
Wanderers are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 4 away games. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Wycombe Wanderers's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 10 goals in 4 travels.
