On Wednesday evening, Birmingham City will aim to mend their regrettable tournament standing in a home match against Cardiff City. Following their defeat to Leicester, the hosts have slipped into the relegation zone, while the guests couldn't conquer Hull City in the last round, losing 1-3 and thereby postponing their promotion ambitions for another season.
Following the resignation of Tony Mowbray, the hosts have accumulated a mere four points in nine championship matches, a streak which severely plummeted the club's standing on the league table. While the rivals battle for Championship survival are gaining momentum, the Blues struggle to find their rhythm. Lucas Jutkiewicz and Alfie Chang are injured and will definitely be unavailable for tomorrow's match. Mark Roberts, however, has a slim chance of making the squad.
The visitors have suffered their third defeat in the last four matches, landing them in the middle of the league table. With no tournament prospects in sight, they can calmly play out the remainder of the season. Wilson-Esbrand, Colwill, and O'Dowda will miss the journey to Saint Andrew's due to injury.
The visitors have practically squandered their chances of playoff qualification, trailing Norwich by 11 points with just five rounds remaining. Birmingham is deemed the favourite for tomorrow's clash and will exert every effort to achieve a favourable outcome. However, Cardiff might be able to relax and play just for the joy of it. Therefore, their individual total 2 (0,5) goal odds seem tempting enough to take on-board.
