THE PREDICTION
Both these sides suffered disappointing defeats in midweek. After going 1-0 up, Birmingham fell to a shocking 1-2 defeat late on at home to Wycombe, whilst Bournemouth were not at the races against Sheffield Wednesday, losing 1-0 in a match that saw defender Steve Cook sent off for the Cherries. Jason Tindall is likely to make a number of changes to his Bournemouth side here in a bid to force an improvement. However, Birmingham will prove tough nuts to crack with a point to prove after losing to Wycombe. Goals are expected to be at a premium here so consider under 2.5 goals scored.
