Birmingham City, Recent FormA 2-2 draw and a point gained against Swansea City in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Birmingham City last time out. They came away from that fixture with 37% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Swansea City managed 8 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Manager John Eustace will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. A number of teams visiting St. Andrew's Stadium have struggled to break through on goal this season so far with the home side having kept 4 clean sheets.
There will be mixed feelings from The Blues, while they've been undefeated in their last 6 league games at home, they've drawn the last 2 of these games in a row.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Birmingham City, Scott Hogan will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Sunderland, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Sunderland players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Cardiff City. They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Cardiff City's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Tony Mowbray will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Ross Stewart will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Sunderland.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Sunderland who ended up empty-handed, losing 3-1 to Birmingham City.
