THE PREDICTION

Birmingham backed up their excellent victory away at Sheffield Utd with a hard-fought draw at home to Stoke. Bournemouth make the long midweek journey to the West Midlands off the back of a 1-2 win away at Nottingham Forest and with both teams having accrued four points so far in this season’s Championship, an intriguing contest appears on the cards. Bournemouth won’t find it easy breaking down Birmingham’s in-form backline, but must also be careful of being hit on the counter attack and committing too many bodies forward here could cost them. The Cherries have failed to keep a clean sheet in either of their two league games played so far and Birmingham at home are more than capable of finding the net, so if Lee Bowyer’s side can maintain their defensive stability shown so far in this campaign, then they are capable of gaining at least a point here, therefore should be considered double chance.
