THE PREDICTION
Birmingham come into this match off the back of a vital three points at the weekend in their relegation six-pointer away at Sheffield Wednesday, whilst Norwich made it three straight Championship victories to extend their lead at the top of the Championship. Whilst the hosts will have gained confidence from their win vs the Owls, the home record of Aitor Karanka’s side is utterly atrocious, having lost nine of their last 11 matches at St Andrew’s and picking up just two points over the course of those games. Whilst the Blues will look to make it hard for Norwich, the overall class of Daniel Farke’s side going forward should prove too strong for Birmingham to keep out, with the visitors ultimately picking up a hard fought three points.
