213 minutes! That's how long the Birmingham goalkeeper Matija Sarkic and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Birmingham go into this game after a win, the home game against Blackpool that ended 1-0. Lukas Jutkiewicz came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Blackpool last time out, making the manager L. Bowyer feel like a tactical genius. Kristian Pedersen, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.44. Pedersen hit one key pass and won 10 of 17 duels.
Before that, Birmingham travelled to Coventry City and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.Birmingham are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, two draws and five defeats. From a total of eleven matches.
The attacking power of Birmingham when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Birmingham as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.
