THE PREDICTION
The pressure is mounting up on Birmingham manager Aitor Karanka since his side dropped into the bottom three and a 3-2 defeat away at Bournemouth last weekend did little to appease the Birmingham supporters. Anything less than victory vs Luton here and calls for him to leave the club are likely to grow louder. The Hatters have not been in the best of form recently, picking up just one point from their last three Championship fixtures. However, this match is being contested at St Andrew’s where Birmingham have lost eight of their last ten games, picking up just two points. This match is likely to prove a real scrap and Luton have proven that they have the stomach for these type of matches in the past under manager Nathan Jones. When taking that into account alongside Birmingham’s abysmal home record, the visitors draw no bet has to be favoured here.
