Birmingham vs Nottingham Forest Predictions

• Birmingham have won four of their six league games (D1, L1) since manager Lee Bowyer joined the club.
• The Blues have also posted three straight victories at St Andrews in recent weeks.
• Forest have won just two of their last ten Championship starts, losing four.

Bowyer to enhance impressive start as Blues boss

Birmingham City maintained their excellent start to life under new manager Lee Bowyer with a 0-1 success at Rotherham on Sunday and the Blues can go in again when they square off against Nottingham Forest this Tuesday.

The two teams toughed out a bore 0-0 draw in December’s reverse fixture at the City Ground, but recent form suggests that the resurgent Blues can edge matters this time around.

City have won four from six since Bowyer’s arrival to ease themselves clear of danger and they go into this midweek encounter having won their last three starts at St Andrews.

With Forest winning just two of their last ten outings (D4, L4) and potentially losing some focus now that they’re almost safe, Birmingham are our clear selection for this contest at around 13/10.

Chris Hughton’s charges were woeful at home to Huddersfield Town on Saturday (0-2) and they have now failed to net in their last two league games. With Birmingham keeping a clean sheet in three of their last four, a 1-0 correct score also sticks out alongside our main prediction for a Birmingham success.
