Prediction: 3-1
Burton
Birmingham City will look to extend their winning run to five games when they take on Burton Albion in the League One round 22. The Blues are eager to retain their spot in top two, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. With no fresh injury worries to report, Chris Davies is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Pirates at the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Pirates suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous four games in all competitions. Burton Albion are not regarded as good travelers and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp on Boxing Day. Midfielder Ben Whitfield is widely expected to return to Burton’s starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last league match. There are no fresh selection worries in the away team.
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.
