Birmingham City Preview – Can Blues revival continue?
Lee Bowyer’s return to the club as manager whom he played for in his career has turned out pretty well as he’s guided Birmingham City away from the bottom three and up into the relative safety of 19th place and nine points clear of third from bottom Rotherham United.
Just one defeat out of the six matches under Bowyer have helped transform Birmingham from possible relegation candidates to possible safety and another win here at St Andrews against Nottingham Forest would virtually guarantee their Championship survival.
Four wins out of these six matches have seen Blues pick up vital wins against Reading, Swansea City, Stoke City and Sunday’s massive ‘six-pointer’ win at Rotherham United have placed Birmingham in a much more favourable position.
Nottingham Forest Preview – Can Forest bounce back?
Another person formerly linked to Birmingham City, Chris Hughton, returns to St Andrews where he was Birmingham manager but this time with his Nottingham Forest side as he looks for a response to Forest’s disappointing 2-0 defeat at home to Huddersfield on the weekend.
It’s been a fairly lean period of results for Nottingham Forest who have managed to register just two wins out of their last 10 matches overall in the Championship and they now find themselves just two league places and one point above their hosts prior to this encounter in the west midlands.
Once again, Nottingham Forest’s inconsistent streak has been their undoing in this campaign and has continued on from the end of last season where they blew their chances of what seemed a nailed-on play-off spot; however, results on the road have been encouraging as they’ve lost just two of their last 12 away from home, which includes five draws.
