Birmingham City Preview – Can Blues ease relegation fears?
A 1-0 win away from home against fellow Championship strugglers, Sheffield Wednesday, on the weekend brought Birmingham City’s dire winless run in the second tier to an end and also handed the hosts a welcome and desperately needed three points.
That win helped lift The Blues out of the relegation zone for the time being and also gave manager, Aitor Karanka, a stay of execution, but the west midlands club face another tough fixture in the shape of league leaders, Norwich City, despite holding home advantAge at St Andrews.
Birmingham have usually been hard to beat at St Andrews in previous campaigns but this season has been a very different story as The Blues hold a poor home record of 2-3-10 9/24 which has seen the hosts lose nine of their last 11 matches and failing to score in seven of these 15 home matches to date too.
Norwich City Preview – Can Canaries move step closer?
Three wins on the trot in recent weeks has seen Norwich City get their bid for automatic promotion back on track following victories over Stoke City, Coventry City and Rotherham United, and the visitors will be seeking a fourth win on the trot on Tuesday night.
Norwich have opened up a seven-point lead at the top of the Championship over 2nd placed Brentford thanks to this latest flurry of wins but they’ll be keen to improve upon results away from home as The Canaries have won just two of their last five away from home.
Nevertheless, Norwich have held the upper hand over Birmingham in recent exchanges as the visitors are unbeaten in the last six meetings, winning five of these.
