Birmingham City Preview – Can the Blues bounce back?
Birmingham City have had another tough season in the Championship, spending the majority of the campaign in and around the lower regions of the second-tier table. Overall, the Blues have won 11, drawn 12 and lost 20. They have collected 45 points from 43 matches.
Birmingham head into this one in woeful form. Since a 1-0 win over Midlands rivals West Bromwich Albion at the start of April, City have lost three on the bounce, shipping 12 goals along the way. Last time out, Birmingham crashed to an embarrassing 6-1 defeat to Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.
Bowyer will be demanding a response from his players after the humbling loss to Blackpool, but getting the better of an in-form Millwall side will not be an easy task. The bookies have the home win priced at 23/10.
Millwall Preview – Will the Lions break into top six?
This year’s Championship has been full of surprises, and Millwall have certainly been one of those. Gary Rowett’s boys have really kicked on over the last few months, turning themselves into genuine promotion candidates.
Millwall have been one of the form sides in the Championship since late January. They lost four league and cup fixtures in a row at the start of 2022 but have bounced back with nine wins from 17 Championship matches. They head to the Midlands having taken seven points from the last nine on offer.
