Birmingham City vs Bristol City prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22

Looking to make it three wins on the trot in the EFL Championship, Birmingham City play host to Bristol City at St Andrew's Stadium on Tuesday.

The visitors, meanwhile, head into the game fresh off the back of ending their three-game losing streak and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Birmingham City continued in their resurgent form as they claimed a 2-0 win away to Middlesbrough last Saturday.

This followed a 2-1 win over Swansea City, where Troy Deeney and Riley McGree scored either side of Michael Obafemi's 77th-minute equalizer to end the Swans' two-game winning run.

After a slow start to the season, Birmingham City have enjoyed a turnaround in recent weeks and are currently 14th in the EFL Championship table, after picking up 19 points from 15 games.

Meanwhile, Bristol City returned to winning ways last time out courtesy of a hard-earned 2-1 victory over Barnsley on home turf.

Prior to that, Nigel Pearson’s men failed to taste victory in each of their last three games, suffering consecutive defeats against Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest and West Brom.

Bristol City are currently level on points with Tuesday’s hosts and will be looking to build on that performance and move into the top half of the table.
