Blackburn Rovers 20/21 to beat Birmingham City in Saturday’s Championship battle

Competition: Championship

Market: Blackburn Rovers win

Odds: 20/21 @ 888sport

Looking to extend on what has been a stellar run of form, Blackburn will host away day strugglers Birmingham City on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, only putting in another stellar display last weekend, Blackburn find themselves enjoying a real purple patch of late. In their 22 Championship matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, six draws and five defeats, scoring 37 and conceding 27 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 39, the Rovers open this weekend’s fixtures sat fourth in the table and just four points adrift of finding a route into the automatic promotion spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen landing an eye-catching 2-0 win away at Bournemouth, Blackburn have won each of their last four Championship matchups on the spin. Likewise, along with recording a clean sheet in each of those four victories, it should also be noted that Saturday’s hosts have collected 16 points from just their last six second-tier contests.

As for the visitors, while Birmingham might have managed to pick up a single point last time out, they are in the midst of what has been a flat run of form. In their 22 Championship matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, six draws and nine defeats, scoring 22 and conceding 26 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 27, the Blues open this weekend’s fixtures sat 15th in the table and holding a six-point buffer over the drop zone. However, as for their recent run of form, last seen playing out a 2-2 draw against relegation scrappers Cardiff on home soil, Birmingham have managed to win just one of their previous six Championship contests. Likewise, recording just a single away victory since the end of August, we’re backing a home win here.
