Birmingham City welcome Fulham to St Andrew’s Trillion Trophy Stadium on Wednesday, looking to move into the EFL Championship playoff places.
Birmingham has had a fine run in the campaign of late with 3 unbeaten rounds two wins and a draw and sit 7th with 3 points behind West Brom and two points and five places below the visitors. They have had a tight defense bringing on four clean sheets retaining the division’s best record.
Despite the defense record, Birmingham have had a low striking end with their tally of under 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 games in all competitions. Birmingham City come from a winning weekend when they beat Derby County 2-0 on home turf.
Fulham on the other hand, had a drop in their performance last time out when they failed to grab any point from Blackpool with a 1-0 narrow defeat in a match where Josh Bowler came up trumps for Blackpool as he scored the only goal of the game in the 49th minute. Fulham had won the earlier 5 matches before the defeat having scored 14 goals conceding only two.
Fulham manager Marco Silva will need his squad to bounce back to their winning ways, but it will be easier said than done against the likes of Birmingham, and jump back to the best side after dropping to the second position below West Brom.
