THE PREDICTION
After a 1-2 defeat at home to lowly Sheffield Wednesday in midweek, Bournemouth parted company manager Jason Tindall and come into this match with Jonathan Woodgate as caretaker boss. Whilst the Cherries boast an incredibly strong squad on paper, they are on a hugely poor run of form which has seen them lose their last four league games and slip to within two points of dropping out of the playoffs. They face a Birmingham team in 21st place and just two points clear of the relegation places. This is likely to be a turgid affair with neither team will to take too many risks offensively knowing the consequences of defeat. With that in mind, consider under 2.5 goals in this game.
