There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Birmingham manager A. Karanka de la Hoz as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Reading.

The attacking power of Birmingham when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
