Recent respective form guides

Birmingham City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Blues have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Sheffield Wednesday's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 4 have been let in at the wrong end.

Birmingham City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 38 points from their 32 matches.

Sheffield Wednesday are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 36 points from 31 matches.
