• Birmingham have drawn a blank in three of their last four league games

• Sheffield Wednesday are aiming to go three matches unbeaten

• Recommended bet: Birmingham win and under 2.5 goals

Birmingham welcome Sheffield Wednesday to St Andrew's on Tuesday night aiming to bounce back from Saturday's 3-0 Championship defeat at Coventry.

The Owls, meanwhile, are looking to build a positive run of form amid turmoil and fan protests against the ownership of the club having earned four points in their last two outings.

Team news

Birmingham defender Jack Robinson is suspended after picking up two yellow cards in the defeat to the Sky Blues.

Full-back Ethan Laird had to go off due to a hamstring issue against Coventry, while Marvin Ducksch could also be a doubt after hurting his leg in the warm-up.

Willum Willumsson is out until October, but Keshi Anderson will be assessed as he nears a return.

Wednesday duo Nathaniel Chalobah and Reece Johnson are both back on the grass after being out injured, but goalkeeper Pierce Charles has a shoulder problem and defender Di'Shon Bernard is sidelined with a knee issue.

The stats

Birmingham have lost just one of their last six home league games against Wednesday, winning four and drawing once, while suffering a 1-0 defeat in October 2020.

The Owls beat the Blues 2-0 in February 2024 and could now win back-to-back league meetings with City for the first time since February 2016.

Birmingham are unbeaten in their last 28 home league games, their second-longest such run after a spell of 36 games between October 1970 and April 1972.

Wednesday have won just one of their last seven away league games, claiming a 2-0 victory at Portsmouth.

Prediction

Birmingham may be struggling to put the ball in the back of the net, but they are strong at home and so head into this fixture as favourites.

The Blues have not lost in 28 matches at St Andrew's, winning 23 of those games, and so the ground is very much a fortress.

However, after scoring only once in four games, any victory will likely be narrow and nicked by the odd goal or two.

The Owls kept a clean sheet at Pompey, while QPR scored once at Hillsborough on Saturday and so the Wednesday rearguard has proved more solid in recent weeks.

Held by Ipswich, who have just come down from the Premier League, Birmingham have won their other two Championship fixtures at St Andrew's and will be confident of adding a third victory.
