Blackburn Rovers welcome Birmingham City at Ewood Park, Blackburn, Lancashire on Saturday, Dec 26 at 4:00 PM in a Championship fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Blackburn Rovers come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 0L). Birmingham City travel in mixed form (0W 2D 0L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Blackburn Rovers here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Birmingham City, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Birmingham City won 0–1.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Blackburn Rovers clear favorites, but Birmingham City have shown they can grind out results. Expect Blackburn Rovers to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
