Our prediction for this Championship match:
Watford will look to put an end to their four-game winless run when they take on Birmingham City in the Championship round 6. The Hornets do not seem to be at their sharpest, but Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for Valerien Ismael’s troops. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be summer signing Mileta Rajovic, who scored a brace in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Coventry City, while defender Jamal Lewis has yet to overcome a thigh injury.
The Blues, on the other hand, made a flying start to the season, with three wins and two draws on their account, but beating Watford at Vicarage Road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in Saturday’s encounter. The visitors will be without Siriki Dembele, Ethan Laird, George Hall, and Tyler Roberts in the Vicarage Road showdown.
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.
