Birmingham City continue to push for promotion as they prepare for an important stretch of games in November.
Gary Rowett has transformed Birmingham City into a side capable of challenging for promotion, and their results so far this season have proven that. Whilst inconsistent at times, the Blues continue to keep the pace in regards to the push for the play-offs with some crucial games coming up in the next few weeks.
Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner
Huddersfield Town – Away
Huddersfield’s surge for promotion has taken something of a hit in the last few weeks and all of a sudden the play-offs are looking a more likely prospect. Both sides have had their share of inconsistent results so far this season, and given their presence in front of goal this one could well turn into a shootout.
Prediction: Huddersfield 2-2 Birmingham
Bristol City manager Lee Johnson
Bristol City – Home
This could prove to be a really tricky tie for Birmingham, especially given their tendency to sometimes crumble under pressure. Bristol City’s never say die attitude could unsettle the Blues, and they need to assert their authority from the get go or else the Robins will control the game at St Andrew’s.
Prediction: Birmingham 1-2 Bristol City
Brentford manager Dean Smith
Brentford – Away
A trip to Brentford could be exactly what Birmingham need to pick up a morale boosting away victory given the Bees’ questionable home results against the likes of Wigan and Barnsley. It will be a tough contest but the Midlands side should be able to edge past Dean Smith’s side en route to a much needed victory.
Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Birmingham
