Prediction: 2-1
Bristol Rovers
High-flying Birmingham City will be aiming to extend their winning run to four games in the League One when they take on Bristol Rovers on Matchday 20. The Blues look unstoppable at the moment and they are seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s clash as well. Alexander Cochrane limped off with injury in the EFL Triumph over Exeter, with Taylor Gardner-Hickman likely to replace him in the starting XI. Top scorer Jay Stansfield is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
The Pirates, on the other hand, struggled defensively in a 3-0 loss to Leyton Orient and seeing that Birmingham City have been impressive at home ground this season, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Bristol empty-handed. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Birmingham. You should know that Bristol Rovers have already suffered six defeats on the road this term.
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.
