Prediction
Birmingham head into Saturday’s Championship clash against Charlton on the back of two away defeats but will be confident of getting back to winning ways after enjoying four straight victories at home.

With Birmingham recording goals at a rapid rate for and Charlton shipping so many, a home win and over 2.5 goals looks a smart pick.
