Brentford Preview – Can Bees get mojo back?
It’s worrying times again for Brentford and their fans as it seems that their side has squandered the chance of automatic promotion and will now have to take their chances in the play-off lottery with last season’s play-off final disappointment no doubt still fresh in their minds.
Brentford had seemingly put last season’s demons behind them as The Bees had earlier embarked upon an impressive 21-match unbeaten run in the Championship and automatic promotion had looked a distinct possibility but the hosts have since imploded again.
The hosts have managed to pick up just a further three wins from their subsequent 10 matches and this has seen the London club drop out of the reckoning for a top two finish and only one of these wins have been by a 2-goal or more margin.
Birmingham City Preview – Can Blues continue revival?
Whilst Birmingham City are by no means out of the woods yet in terms of relegation, two wins out of Lee Bowyer’s first three games in charge has handed The Blues a crucial lifeline in their bid for Championship survival as they now hold a valuable six-point cushion above third from bottom side, Rotherham United.
Wins against Reading and Swansea City, both of whom occupy places in the play-off pack have not only been impressive wins in their own right, but they’ll also serve as a welcome morale-boost ahead of the final straight of this Championship season and Birmingham have been something of a bogey team for Brentford in previous exchanges too.
Both of these recent wins were on home turf at St Andrews where Birmingham have struggled the most for results this season while an away record of 5-8-6 14/18 shows that the visitors have at least held their own for the large majority of the campaign and they’ve lost by a 2-goal margin or more just twice in their 19 away matches to date.
