Birmingham City, Recent FormBirmingham City will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 away win against Queens Park Rangers. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Queens Park Rangers' tally of 15 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. John Eustace will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at St. Andrew's Stadium, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormBlackburn Rovers head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 home win against Reading in their last league encounter. They came away from that fixture with a 53% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Reading, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home.
This has been a great run of form for them over the past 6 matches, during which they've managed to secure 5 victories.
On an individual basis, Sam Gallagher will be looking to cause Birmingham City some problems having scored 3 goals in Blackburn Rovers' last 6 away games in the league.
It was one to forget for Birmingham City last time they met Blackburn Rovers in the league, falling to a 2-1 defeat.
Rovers will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Birmingham having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 6 meetings. In their recent meetings Blackburn have had no problem breaking down The Blues' defence, having found the back of the net 15 times in their last 5 games.
Blackburn will be looking to continue their winning streak against Birmingham, having won each of the last 5 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings.
Blackburn man Ben Brereton Díaz will be confident about extending his scoring record against Birmingham, having hit the netting 4 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
Birmingham manager John Eustace has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jobe Bellingham (Abdominal), Tate Campbell (Hamstring), Harlee Dean (Muscle), Troy Deeney (Hamstring), Gary Gardner (Groin) and Dion Sanderson (Back) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Jon Dahl Tomasson has a number of injury concerns in his Blackburn squad to contend with: Daniel Ayala (Hamstring), Sam Barnes (Knee), Bradley Dack (Hamstring), Thomas Kaminski (Knee), Clinton Mola (Ankle) and Jack Vale (Ankle)
