Prediction: 2-1
Blackpool
Following a routine 2-0 win over Burton Albion, Birmingham City will look to cement top position in the standings when they face Blackpool in yet another home fixture. The Blues want to finish 2024 in style and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Seasiders on Sunday. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Blackpool.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Wrexham. The Seasiders want to move closer to the playoffs berth, but given Birmingham City’s almost perfect home record, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. Talented forward Dominic Ballard is pushing for a recall to Blackpool’s starting XI after coming as a late substitute in the Boxing Day defeat. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team.
