Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Birmingham City and Bolton square off against each other at St. Andrew’s Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Tuesday’s program. The Blues quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Charlton Athletic, with the team rolling over Lincoln 3-1 and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Bolton. A man to watch in the home side will be Keshi Anderson, who scored a brace at the weekend, while Jay Stansfield is a major doubt after limping off with injury against Lincoln.
The Trotters, on the other hand, survived Burton in their last league match, with Aaron Collins finally finding the net. The Wales forward should keep his place in the starting XI, while all Eoin Toal, Chris Forino, and Carlos Mendes Gomes remain in the recovery room. Tuesday’s clash comes too early for Gethin Jones. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Birmingham City are on a four-game winning run at their St. Andrew’s Stadium.
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.

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.
