Prediction: 0-1
Middlesbrough
This Friday night's solo English Championship game sees Birmingham take on Middlesborough at the St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium. Both teams who've struggled for form this season, find themselves hovering in mid-table at 14th and 19th respectively. Birmingham is coming into this game, having taken no points from its last three league matches. Meanwhile, Middlesborough has managed just one point in its previous three.
Historically Boro dominates the head to head, having won half of the 28 games played between the two teams. Birmingham additionally, is winless in the last ten games played amongst the two. Both teams have had a forgettable league campaign so far and will fancy their chances against an opponent with similar form and quality. Birmingham will look to make its home advantage count, but Middlesborough's head to head supremacy should give it a slight edge. Considering each team's goalscoring frailties, we do not believe this game will provide us with many goals either.

Highlighted Player (Maxime Colin):
After spending two seasons at Boulogne, Maxime Colin joined Troyes in 2012. The pacey right back made 55 appearances for Troyes and in 2014 he signed a three-year deal with Belgian side Anderlecht. On 13 September, 2014 he made his Anderlecht debut, in a 2-2 draw with Lierse.
After playing 16 games for the Belgian outfit in the 2014/2015 Pro League campaign, Maxime Colin signed a four-year contract with Brentford in August, 2015 for an undisclosed fee. Reports in England suggested, though, that the fee was around £900,000. Colin made his Brentford debut on 22 August, 2015 in a 1-0 loss to Burnley and it has to be noted that he came on as a substitute 30 minutes before the final whistle.
Speaking of his international career, the defender, who was born on 15 November, 1991, has seven caps for the France U20 team. Colin made France U20 World Cup squad as well and he played a part in matches against Colombia and Mexico.
Highlighted Team (Middlesbrough):
Middlesbrough is a professional football club that have been balancing between the top two divisions of England’s league system in the modern history. Boro have been playing their home games at the Riverside Stadium since 1995 and their shirt colour is red. The capacity of the Riverside Stadium is 34,742. Middlesbrough impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and they did really well to secure promotion to the English top flight. Newcastle United and Sunderland are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but there is a rivalry with Leeds United as well.
Middlesbrough made it to the FA Cup final in 1997, but Chelsea proved to be a big catch for the Boro in the title game (0-2). However, the Riverside Stadium outfit did remarkably well to win the League Cup trophy in 2004, with the team beating Bolton Wanderers in the final. George Boateng, Stewart Downing, Juninho Paulista, Gareth Southgate, Jonathan Woodgate, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Tuncay Sanli and Hamilton Ricard are the star footballers who left their mark at Middlesbrough.
