Prediction: 1-1
Leyton Orient
After dropping two points in a goalless draw with Reading, Birmingham City will look to return to winning ways when they face Leyton Orient on Matchday 26. The Blues are on a four-game winning run at home and they are seen as hot favourites to win the midweek clash as well. All Scott Wright, Keshi Anderson, and Lyndon Dykes are major doubts after the trio picked up injuries at the weekend.
The O’s, meanwhile, suffered a 2-1 loss to Bolton on Saturday, but despite the defeat, they are still sitting in the playoffs berth. Given the number of injury worries in the home team, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from Tuesday’s clash. Speaking of the visiting side, Brandon Cooper faces race against the clock to be fit for the midweek showdown. The opposition back-line should have Leyton top scorer Charlie Kelman at bay.
