After missing the promotion playoff by just two points, Blackburn Rovers haven't had a great start to the current campaign. In Round 2, seeking a first win, they will be up against promoted side Birmingham City. Read on for our prediction of this match.

Facing Birmingham accounts for some of Blackburn’s most uncomfortable moments. Coming here, for instance, Blackburn have just one win in the last five meetings with Birmingham. They lost two of the last three head-to-head matchups.

That, and their losing start to this season doesn’t cover Blackburn in glory. The Rovers started off with a 1-0 loss at West Bromwich Albion and fell 2-1 at home to Bradford in the League Cup.

Birmingham haven't posted a stellar start to life back in the Championship, but there's some solidity to pick in their opening matches. They had a promising outing in their first league game, drawing relegated side Ipswich Town 1-1.

The Blues improved on it with a 2-1 win against Sheffield United in the League Cup. In their last meeting with Blackburn before relegation to League One, the visitors posted a 1-0 victory and will look to make it back-to-back here.

With two wins in the last three matches against the Rovers, Chris Davies’ side will have reason to believe they can do this.

Our Blackburn vs Birmingham Prediction

Blackburn had a poor finish to their league campaign last season, and that doesn’t seem to have eased, going by their start. They have opened their 2025/26 campaign with straight losses in the league and League Cup.

Facing Birmingham, the Rovers are at risk again, with the Blues confident after an unbeaten start in their first two games. Twice in their last three meetings also, Birmingham beat Blackburn. Our prediction for Blackburn Rovers v Birmingham City is that Birmingham City wins the match.

Birmingham wins
