“Birmingham City” looks impressive, it seems that in this form it would not get lost in the Championship, and already in League 1 it simply dominates. After a good start, Charlton had problems and now they do not seem to be a team that is capable of stopping the accelerating Blues. Although the Blackbirds’ style of play is inconvenient, and the support of the stands will be with them.
🔴 Charlton
The trip was unsuccessful – Charlton lost first to Stevenage, and then to Bristol. In the second game he was unlucky, but this is no longer so important – three defeats in a row greatly undermined the team’s position. The situation is not easy for her, and there is also “Birmingham” ahead, which is still sweeping away everyone in its path.
🔵 Birmingham City
The Blues again played modestly in terms of the score – only 1:0 against Huddersfield, but with a good margin, they dominated and had many chances, they just didn’t convert almost anything. Someday, their low performance will let them down, but if they continue to play as well, they will probably still be able to fight their way back to the Championship this season. So far there is no team in sight that could compete with them on equal terms.

📋 Prediction for the match Charlton – Birmingham City
Before the break, the Blackbirds conceded few goals – only three goals in nine games. As a result, in six of their matches the half-time whistle resulted in a draw. The Blues are usually not impressive in the first halves – their goal difference is only +2, and they win mainly due to the fact that they improved after the break (+7). In the first halves they have three wins, three draws and two losses. Thus, in 50% of the games between the two teams there was a draw at the break, and in this match it is also very likely, and the odds for it are 2.29.
Charlton comes into the game on a three-game losing streak in the league, while Birmingham have won seven in a row. The hosts play well as number two and can cause problems, but we are still confident that the guests will be able to take three points from London. The odds for Birmingham City to win are 1.82, which suits us completely.
