Our prediction for this Championship match:
Birmingham City will look to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Leicester City when they take on Cardiff City in the Championship round 42. The Blues are eager to escape the relegation zone and they have no other choice but to leave their hearts on the field. Both Lucas Jutkiewicz and Alfie Chang are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Hull City, with the team remaining in 11th place in the standings. As Birmingham City are desperate to secure yet another Championship survival, we predict that the visitors are going to return to South Wales with their hands empty. Josh Wilson-Esbrand limped off with injury in the last league match, with Ollie Tanner likely to sneak into the starting XI.
Highlighted Team (Birmingham City):
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. In 1931 they were beaten by their local rivals WBA in the title game (1-2), whilst in 1956 they were outplayed by Manchester City in the title game.
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.
