Our prediction for this League 1 match:
The Brick Community Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Wigan Athletic and Birmingham City, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. The Latics aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Wrexham and you should know that they are eyeing their fourth home win of the process. Babajide Adeeko limped off with injury in the last league match, with Jensen Weir likely to step up.
The Blues, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the automatic promotion berth. Birmingham City are more of a team than Wigan Athletic and given their desire to return to winning ways following back-to-back draws with Blackpool and Stockport, away triumph should be considered. Speaking of the away team, midfielder Marc Leonard is pushing for a recall to the starting XI as well as striker Lyndon Dykes. Last time out Birmingham City defeated Wigan Athletic 2-1.
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.
