Birmingham to Win
A run of three wins in six games has pushed Birmingham up to 15th position in the Champions and the Blues can add another feather to their cap when they host Blackpool on Saturday. The Seasiders, who have lost five of their last six assignments, sit second from bottom in the table and they have been beaten eight times in a row on the road. That record is difficult to dismiss, and our first Birmingham vs Blackpool prediction recommends a stake on a home in this one.
Under 2.5 Goals
Birmingham should have enough about them to force a victory this weekend, though the Blues’ lack of oomph in the final third should ensure that excitement levels are low at St Andrew's Stadium. 100% of Birmingham’s last seven competitive matches there have featured under 2.5 goals and we don’t expect things to change when they host Blackpool. The Seasiders have notched one or fewer goals in each of their last 13 away tests, so back under 2.5 goals to be registered here.

Read all of the latest injury updates, Birmingham vs Blackpool lineups and team news for Saturday’s Championship bout below.
Birmingham
Birmingham could be without the services of Gary Gardner, Dion Sanderson, Troy Deeney, Josh Williams, Tate Campbell, George Hall and Przemyslaw Placheta on Saturday. The Blues did brilliantly to win 1-0 at Millwall last time out and their confidence levels should be topped up this weekend.
Predicted Lineup for Birmingham: Ruddy – Colin, Roberts, Long, Friend – Bielik, Bacuna – Chong, Hall, Khadra – Jutkiewicz
Blackpool
Blackpool have several personnel issues to contend with at the moment. Marvin Ekpiteta and Charlie Goode are missing at the back, while Tom Trybull, Kevin Stewart and Liam Bridcutt are absent in midfield. Further forward, Gary Madine and Shayne Lavery are also in the treatment room.
Predicted Lineup for Blackpool: Grimshaw – Lawrence-Gabriel, Nelson, Thorniley, Lyons – Patino, Fiorini, Rogers, Anderson, Hamilton – Yates
Player to Watch – Lukas Jutkiewicz
Millwall couldn’t handle burly Blackpool striker Lukas Jutkiewicz last weekend and the 34-year-old score the game’s only goal at The Den. Jutkiewicz has a modest five-goal haul for the campaign overall, though he will be determined to add to that tally this weekend.
