Prediction: 1-2
Birmingham City
Saturday’s football game at MKM Stadium pits together Hull City and Birmingham City, the two bottom-table sides. The Tigers desperately needed a win against Barnsley, and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their four-match losing run. Hull City regained a much-needed confidence, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to avoid relegation to League One. All Lewie Coyle, Alfie Jones, Brandon Fleming, and Tom Huddlestone should miss out with injuries for the home team.
The Blues, on the other hand, failed to extend their winning run to three games, with the team losing to Reading before the international break. Anyhow, Hull City want this win more than Birmingham City, and we predict that the hosts are going to pick up vital three points from the match. The likes of Jordan Graham, Dion Sanderson, Maxime Colin, Kristian Pedersen, and Adan George miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Callum Elder):
Callum Elder is an Australia international who plays for Hull City in the League One. Elder started his youth career at Manly United, but in 2011 he was spotted by Leicester City scouts. Despite being a Leicester City player from 2013 to 2019, he did not see any game action with the Foxes in the Premier League.
Callum Elder played for the likes of Mansfield Town, Peterborough United, Brentford, Barnsley, Wigan Athletic, and Ipswich Town before signing a three-year contract with the Tigers for an undisclosed fee. Speaking of his international career, the pacey left-back has one cap with the Australia U20 team.
Elder’s favourite position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a centre-back as well. Elder wears the No. 3 jersey at Hull City, and he is an athletic full-back who likes getting up and down the left-hand side. The Australian player was born on January 27, 1995.

Birmingham City are a club located in the city of Birmingham, England. Birmingham City were founded in 1875 as Small Heath Alliance, but the club’s named was changed to Small Heath in 1888. 17 years later they became Birmingham and in 1943 they finally changed their name to Birmingham City.
The Blues welcome their rivals at St. Andrew’s, the stadium that was opened in 1906. Birmingham City compete in the Championship and their fiercest rivals are WBA and Aston Villa. The Blues made it to the FA Cup final twice, but they have yet to win the prestigious trophy.

The colour of Birmingham’s home kit is blue with white stripe. Trevor Francis, Gil Merrick, Bob Latchford, Jeff Hall, Alex Govan, Joe Bradford and Christophe Dugarry are notable footballers who played for the St. Andrew’s outfit in the past.
