Birmingham City welcome Bristol City to St Andrew's Stadium in this Championship Round 2 fixture on Saturday. The Blues are on a 12-match unbeaten run across competitive and friendly fixtures, dating back to last season, while Bristol City have failed to win six of their last seven competitive matches. Our prediction backs Birmingham City to come out on top.
Birmingham City made a strong start to their campaign, defeating Swansea City 1–0 in their first competitive fixture of the season in the Carabao Cup. They held Sheffield Utd to a goalless draw at Bramall Lane in their Championship opener last week despite being priced as underdogs.
That result extended the Blues' unbeaten run to 12 matches across both competitive and friendly fixtures, dating back to last season. They won each of their final three Championship home fixtures last season and will be confident of extending that winning run.
Bristol City are already off to a disappointing start. They kicked off their campaign with a 1–0 defeat at home to League Two side Walsall in the Carabao Cup, crashing out of the competition, before falling 2–0 to Millwall in their Championship opener.
The Robins have now failed to win six of their last seven competitive matches, dating back to last season. They are set for another difficult encounter, having gone winless in their last four Championship visits to Birmingham City.
