Birmingham City, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Birmingham City managed a remarkable 4-1 home win against Huddersfield Town. Their share of possession in that meeting was 59%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Huddersfield Town, who had 17 shots on goal with 5 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 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. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have had a good run of form at St. Andrew's Stadium recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Birmingham City, Siriki Dembélé will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
West Bromwich Albion, Recent FormWest Bromwich Albion enter this game with a comfortable 1-0 home win over Sheffield Wednesday last time out in the league. In that game they recorded 72 % of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 4 shots on goal.
Carlos Corberán will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 4 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and they have had a recent run of 3 clean sheets overall.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, John Swift will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in West Bromwich Albion's 10 league games this season.
