Prediction

  • Birmingham put up a noble fight against league leaders Leicester on Saturday afternoon but a late Stephy Mavididi strike cancelled out Jay Stansfield's goal as the Blues left the King Power Stadium empty-handed.
  • The hosts have lost seven of their last nine league games and now sit in the relegation zone.
  • Cardiff's faint remaining play-off hopes were crushed on Saturday afternoon as a first-half Fabio Carvalho brace set them on course for a comprehensive home defeat against Hull.
  • Erol Bulut's side have now lost three of their last four Championship fixtures ahead of the trip to St. Andrew's.
