Match preview

Birmingham have put a difficult run behind them with back-to-back wins over Swansea and Middlesbrough and they can continue their revival against Bristol City.

The Robins secured a 2-1 victory over second-bottom Barnsley on Saturday but had lost their previous three prior to beating the Tykes.

Nigel Pearson’s visitors have struggled to keep their opponents at bay this season, conceding 21 times in their 15 games.

However, their expected-goals total indicates they may have been fortunate to keep it to that. The Robins have an xG against figure of 28 - the second-worst in the Championship - and Birmingham can take advantage.

Forwards Scott Hogan and Troy Deeney have rediscovered the scoring touch of late and can help the Blues power past the Robins.

Key stat

Birmingham have conceded two goals in their last four games.
