Birmingham take on the visitors Bolton at “St Andrew's” in the gameweek three of the English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 15th.
Birmingham played three clashes after a summer break, having thrashed 5:1 Crawley Town in the Carabao Cup while in the Championship they were beaten by Ipswich 0:1 and got 2:1 victory over
Bristol City. In other words they won both home encounters and lost the only battle at away field. The team has promising potential, but how Birmingham will manage to carry it out during the durable Championship distance is in a great question.

In previous season Bolton performed in the League One which is the third tier of the English football system. ”The Trotters” took 86 points with 68-36 goal difference in 46 rounds and occupied the second place in the League One, having allowed them to promote to the Championship. In a new season Bolton recorded all possible outcomes in three conducted clashes: they got 2:1 triumph over Crewe in the Carabao Cup plus a draw with a defeat in the Championship: 1:1 vs. Millwall and 2:3 vs. Leeds.
Birmingham won three recent head-to-heads against Bolton with the same 1:0 scoreline. Taking into account that “Brammies” are rather successful on the road and have become the resident of the Championship in contrast to the visitors, I believe that the Birmingham’s fourth victory in a row looks like a solid selection for the game. Experience and home-field advantage should play a decisive role in the forthcoming fight in favour of “Brammies”.
Prediction for the match: Birmingham to win.
