Birmingham take on the visitors West Bromwich in the round 11 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, October 6th at St. Andrew's Stadium (Birmingham).
Birmingham City are alternating between successful and unsuccessful runs this season. The Blues have not been shining brightly for quite some time. In the previous season, they managed to secure only the seventeenth place in the Championship. However, after the summer break, under the guidance of John Yustas, they surprised with a strong start: advancing in the League Cup and accumulating 10 points in the first four matches of the season. But then came a 1-3 cup defeat to Cardiff at home, which acted as a bit of a setback. Following that, the team drew at home and suffered losses away (including a 0-2 defeat to Norwich). However, in the previous round, they managed to handle Huddersfield at their own arena, convincingly beating the Terriers 4-1.

West Bromwich are showing mid-table results. The Throstles fell just short of the playoff zone last season. They collected 66 points and finished ninth, three points behind Sunderland, who closed out the top six. It seemed that the team might aim for promotion to the Premier League after the summer break, but they've only had one brief successful period, earning 7 points in 3 matches. Before that, there were losses, including one in the League Cup against Stoke City, and in September, they lost at home to Huddersfield during a series of draws. However, after managing to secure consecutive victories against Preston and Sheffield Wednesday, they have climbed back into the playoff zone. Currently, they are in fifth place.
Birmingham City have won their last three matches against West Bromwich. Experts are giving Birmingham City a slight advantage, especially since they are playing at home. However, the visitors have gained momentum as well. So, it's worth considering a bet on over 2.0 total goals for this match.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
