The balance has tipped in Birmingham’s favor in the last five meetings between the teams. Birmingham have won three times while Blackpool have only won twice.
Birmingham continue to fight to climb higher in the table, and for that they need goals. The goalscorer of the moment is Scott Hogan, the 30-year-old Irish striker who has nine goals and one assist this season.
Despite the current moment, Blackpool managed to take a few points with several wins. In the middle of their workforce, they have a natural goalscorer. It’s Jerry Yates, the 26-year-old England striker who has nine goals and two assists in 21 games.
Birmingham City have a slightly more encouraging outlook, although not exactly the best. They are slightly below mid-table, exactly in 14th place, with 28 points, one behind FC Reading and Coventry City. Their last five results have been two draws, two wins and one loss.
Blackpool are not having a good time. They couldn’t climb out of the relegation zone, as they sit 23rd in the table with 22 points, one point behind Wigan Athletic and West Brom. Their last five results have been disastrous, as they have conceded only one victory, and the rest, only defeats.
