West Bromwich Albion suffered their first loss in the Championship right before the international break and will be hoping to resume with a win when they host struggling Birmingham. After 11 matches, Birmingham have 12 points while West Brom, the hosts here, have 22 points in second place. A fine start to the campaign places West Brom among the favorites for automatic promotion to the Premier League, but they’ll have to address their recent struggles. They have managed to score more than a goal in just two of their last eight matches, taking to this game a shaky run. In the eight matches they’ve also failed to score in three and in the last four home matches across all competitions, they have just one win. West Brom have played five Championship matches at home this season and they are unbeaten, with three wins.

Birmingham City, on the other hand, go to this game without a win in their last five matches. They have four losses and a draw in that run and in terms of the standings, they are just four points above the relegation zone. In 10 matches they have two wins only and head to this game having failed to score in each of the last four matches, while they’ve been conceding heavily. In four of their last five matches, Birmingham City have conceded two or more goals and they have scored just one goal and kept one clean sheet. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and away from home they are winless in the last three. Birmingham have failed to score in the last two away matches and they are also winless in eight matches against West Brom.
