Leeds

The "Peacocks" undoubtedly set the goal of returning to the Premier League, even though the competition is quite serious in the second-tier English division. Currently, Leeds is fourth in the table, trailing the second spot by 9 points. Directly entering the elite will be challenging, but finishing in the top 6 to participate in the playoffs is realistic. In their last match, the team suffered a 0-1 defeat away to direct competitor West Bromwich, marking their second consecutive loss. Injuries will sideline two players.

Birmingham

This season, Birmingham is not harboring dreams of promotion, as they currently occupy a modest 20th place in the Championship after 25 rounds. In the last round, the team played a dull 0-0 draw at home against Bristol City, with both teams managing only 7 shots on goal combined without finding the net. Birmingham is on a four-match winless streak, earning only two points during this period. Four players will miss the match due to injuries.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

• The first-round battle was not spectacular, and Birmingham managed to secure a home victory with a 1-0 score, thanks to a penalty goal in the 90+1 minute.
• Leeds has not lost at home this season, with 8 wins and four draws.
• Birmingham has lost 8 out of 12 away matches this season, winning only twice.

Prediction

In this pairing, Leeds is a significant favorite. The "Peacocks" perform exceptionally well at home and are positioned higher than their opponents in the table. Birmingham rarely secures points in away matches, and it will be challenging to spring a surprise this time. We anticipate a high-scoring match and place a bet on a total of over 2.5 goals.
