Birmingham vs Blackpool Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Birmingham have lost just one of their last six games
• Blackpool have lost five of their last six games
• Birmingham’s last five wins have been to nil

Birmingham should be safe

Birmingham City have moved 11 points clear of the relegation zone, largely thanks to a vein of good form which has seen the Blues lose just one of their last six games in the Championship. With just three games to play for the Blues, they are all but confirmed to have avoided relegation, but show no signs of slowing down as they look to continue their good form towards the end of the season.

The Blues face a visit from a Blackpool side who have won just twice in their last 11 games, and currently sit four points away from safety – which is likely to be extended should Cardiff capitalise on either of their two games in hand. Birmingham, as the form side going into this one, are likely to win again against their struggling opponents, so a prediction for Birmingham to win looks good odds here.

Blackpool look doomed

Blackpool would have to make up a four-point deficit in their final three games of the season if they are to stay up. A win against a side with not much left to play for would be a kickstart for that, but it looks unlikely.

The Tangerines have conceded 15 goals in their last six games, an average of 2.5 per game, while Birmingham have seen their last five wins come to nil. As a result, a correct score prediction of Birmingham to win 2-0 stands out.
