Prediction: 0-2
Birmingham City
Leyton Orient and Birmingham City square off against each other at Brisbane Road in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. The O’s aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Charlton Athletic, but they face yet another difficult task against the Blues. Defender Thomas James is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match.
Birmingham City, on the other hand, are eyeing a quick return to the Championship and their display in a 3-2 win over Wycombe is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. As Chris Davies looked sharp in front of goal against the Chairboys, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. It has to be noted that the two clubs meet for the first time since October 2002 when Birmingham City defeated Leyton Orient 3-2 in the League Cup. Iceland forward Willum Thor Willumsson is widely expected to return to Birmingham’s starting XI after scoring a brace at the weekend.
