Birmingham City, Recent FormBirmingham City have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-1 home win against Plymouth Argyle in their previous league match. In that game they had 36% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Plymouth Argyle who had 16 attempts and 7 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Millwall, Recent FormMillwall will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their home fixture against Stoke City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 34%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Stoke City had 17 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Gary Rowett will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
On an individual basis, Tom Bradshaw will be looking to cause Birmingham City some problems having scored 2 goals in Millwall's last 6 away games in the league.
It was one to forget for Millwall last time they met Birmingham City in the league, falling to a 0-1 defeat.
In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, The Lions have failed to score a single goal against Birmingham.
Both teams will be looking for a breakthrough in this league fixture, with the last 4 meetings at St. Andrew's Stadium ending in a draw and a share of the spoils. However, Millwall will arguably be feeling more confident having not lost against Birmingham on their last 7 visits.
Birmingham manager John Eustace has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. George Hall (Ankle), Marcel Oakley (Hamstring), Marc Roberts (Calf) and Tyler Roberts (Calf) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Millwall manager Gary Rowett ahead of this clash, with George Honeyman (Muscle) missing out, which gives Rowett a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
