Birmingham City
After sharing the spoils with Barrow in their last warm-up game, Birmingham City will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Northampton Town at Sixfields Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Blues continue their preparations for the new Championship campaign, and we are positive that head coach Lee Bowyer will use this friendly to test as many players as possible for the season opener against Sheffield United.
All Halilovic, Jutkiewicz, McGree, Simmonds, and San Jose are pushing for a start. The Cobblers, on the other hand, have been struggling in pre-season, with the team losing each of their three warm-up games. Northampton face a difficult task in Saturday’s friendly, and we do not believe that they are capable of matching the Championship side in their fourth outing of the pre-season. When the two teams met in a friendly back in 2015 they played out a 2-2 draw.

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.
