Seventh-placed Birmingham City have the opportunity to record their first home win in the Championship when they lock horns with Preston North End at St. Andrew's Stadium on matchday ten. The hosts have won their last three league meetings against Preston and our prediction is vouching for their fourth consecutive win.

Birmingham City came away with a valuable result in their weekend away fixture. They faced West Bromwich Albion, and August Priske's first-half strike from the spot saw them win 1-0.

That outcome extended their unbeaten league run to three games (W2, D1). This impressive run comes after a three-match winless run.

The Blues are at home this time around and are seeking a positive result. However, things have not been entirely smooth sailing at St. Andrew's Stadium this season, particularly in the Championship where they've failed to win any of their four games (D4).

Preston North End are anchored at the bottom of the table with four points. Just three points separate them from safety heading into this clash.

After recording their first Championship win beating Blackburn 2-1 at home, the Lilywhites have since gone four matches without a win, recording three losses and one draw.

Their recent loss was a slender 1-0 home defeat against Millwall over the weekend. That was their fourth loss in five home league games.

Our Birmingham vs Preston North End Prediction

Birmingham City are winless in their last four home league games this season. There's reason to believe they may finally end that winless run when they face a struggling Preston side. The hosts have won their last three league meetings against this opponent. Two of those results were recorded at home.

Preston North End have performed poorly on the road, losing three of their last four league outings. This has them boasting the league's joint-worst away record. Little can be expected from them in this one. Our Birmingham City vs Preston North End prediction: Birmingham wins.
