Birmingham City’s battle to remain in the English second division next season will persist on Tuesday night as they welcome the on-fire Middlesbrough team.
Birmingham has ended up in the last eight in their previous four seasons and it seems probable that they will finish there again this season. Currently, Mark Venus’s team is in the bottom four, but their recent performance at home gives them hope for the game on Tuesday. The Blues have secured victories in three out of their last four home matches, which definitely boosts their confidence in earning three points in the upcoming game.
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough have struggled to meet their previous season’s standards. They finished fourth in the 2022-23 Championship under Michael Carrick, only to be eliminated in the promotion play-offs and have shown considerable inconsistency since then.
Birmingham City vs Middlesbrough Betting Tips: Double Chance Middlesbrough
The hosts will gain confidence from home advantage, despite their recent lackluster form. Heading into Tuesday’s game, Birmingham City has a series of four consecutive games without a victory, with three losses and one draw.
After their victory over Leicester City last month, Middlesbrough endured consecutive losses. However, the Blues have demonstrated in their last two matches that they can triumph over any adversary on a good day. The visiting team secured a 5-1 aggregate score in their previous two league games and have also emerged victorious in their last four encounters with Mark Venus’ team.
