Matchday 12 of the EFL Championship sees Cardiff City and Birmingham City battle it out at Cardiff City Stadium. Birmingham are in terrific form in the Championship and, having won 1-0 in their last visit to this venue, our prediction is for an away win.
Cardiff City are languishing in the bottom six of the Championship table with 11 points. The home side have maintained a three-point cushion over the relegation zone. A slip-up could leave them in a precarious position.
There has been little encouragement about their performance this season. The Bluebirds have won two of their last 11 matches (D5, L4). Surprisingly, they are one of five teams that have yet to taste defeat at home.
Their recent league game was against Middlesbrough. The match ended in a thrilling 2-2 away draw. That marked their second unbeaten run after thrashing Watford 5-1 at home.
Birmingham City are eyeing the top spot in the standings as they enter this clash, sitting in fourth place with 20 points. They are level on points with fifth-placed West Bromwich Albion.
The Blues have gone five league games without defeat, largely driven by an attack that has produced 12 goals. Their recent match was no exception, beating QPR 3-0 at home.
Chris Davies' charges have now won three matches in a row and are aiming for a fourth on foreign soil.
