Blackburn vs Birmingham Betting Tips: Blackburn to Win
Even though achieving the highest success won’t be easy, we trust that the Riversiders, supported by their faithful supporters, will manage to turn the mid-week clash in their favor. Despite entering the 14-day international break in November with a disappointing record of three defeats in four games across all tournaments, Blackburn made a remarkable comeback. They triumphed over Stoke on their home turf with a strong 3-0 win, marking four straight away victories for the first time in twenty years. Following a successful weekend, Jon Dahl Tomasson’s team is riding high on motivation and is eager for a swift improvement in their performance at home. They have been performing poorly at home recently, losing four of their last five home matches.
The chance to amend their poor home results presents itself midweek as they take on Birmingham, a team with a dismal away record this season. The Blues had a hopeful start with a 1-1 draw and a solid 2-0 win against Bristol City in their first two away Championship games, but their subsequent performances on the road have been notably poor, resulting in six straight losses. During these disappointing away games, championed by Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney, the team let in a staggering 13 goals, with an incredible ten of them scored in the second half, highlighting their weaknesses and vulnerability as games draw to a close.
Furthermore, it should be noted that Ewood Park has turned into a nightmare for Birmingham in recent years, as they have been defeated by Blackburn Rovers in each of the last three Championship encounters on home turf, with a brilliant goal difference of 11-3. Given the Blues’ shaky defense on their travels, we believe that the Riversiders will exploit the visitors’ defensive vulnerabilities to secure three points.

Blackburn team news
Scott Wharton experienced the sweet-and-sour taste over the weekend, as, despite his opening goal in the fourth minute, a setback followed just six minutes later in the form of an injury, forcing him to exit the field and casting uncertainty over his midweek participation.
With the absence of the 26-year-old center-back, Danish tactician Jon Dahl Tomasson is contemplating the possibility of reshuffling by considering Lewis Travis, despite it not being his customary position, as the left-back.

Birmingham team news
Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney, who recently took the reins at Birmingham, managed to overcome his sluggish start by securing his first Championship victory over the weekend, orchestrating a comeback to defeat his counterparts Sheffield Wednesday 2-1.
The 19-year-old Welsh talent, Jordan James, who made a remarkable impact coming off the bench to engineer a weekend turnaround, is pushing for a spot in the starting XI midweek, while his peer, George Hall, continues his recovery from a hamstring injury.
