Birmingham City will be looking to build on a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Derby County, quickly bouncing back from their defeat to Norwich City. The Blues have been inconsistent lately, winning just 30% of their last 10 matches, while their home form has been particularly poor, with no wins across their last five. However, Birmingham have scored in all five of those home fixtures, averaging 1.60 goals per game. Seung-Ho Paik could sneak into the starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute against Derby, while there are no fresh injury worries.
Middlesbrough, on the other hand, came from behind to share the spoils with Millwall (2-2) in midweek. The promotion hopefuls have won 60% of their last 10 matches and are averaging 1.80 goals per game during that spell. Summer signing Will Lankshear will be the man to watch after already netting six goals this season, while fellow forward Max Arfsten is pushing for a start.
Birmingham are winless in their last five at home and given Middlesbrough's attacking potential with Will Lankshear up front, we believe that there is big value in betting on Away Win. Additionally, Lankshear to Score and Over 2.5 goals markets are worth considering (Birmingham home matches average 4.20 goals, while Middlesbrough matches average 3.20 across their last 10).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 15:00.
