Sheff Wed have lost six of their last eight games in all competitions
Birmingham are unbeaten in their last three games
Recommended bet: Birmingham to win to nil
Sheffi Wed are preparing for life back in League One as the Owls currently sit bottom of the Championship table.
They have been deducted 16 points since going into administration back in October and there is certainly no way back for them this season.
Birmingham are 14th in the table having taken four points from their last two matches and the Blues' 3-2 win over Coventry has arguably been the highlight of an underwhelming campaign so far.
Another win in midweek over Wednesday could move the Second City side up a few places depending on results going their way.

Team news
The home side are still missing plenty of players. Di'Shon Bernard, Liam Cooper, Max Lowe, Dominic Iorfa and Ernie Weaver continue to be absent, giving the Owls issues at the back.
Injuries to Nathaniel Chalobah, Olaf Kobacki, George Brown and Ike Ugbo will also see the quartet miss the clash against the Blues in midweek.
While Birmingham do not quite have an injury crisis to that degree, they will be without Ethan Laird and Lee Buchanan.
Jack Robinson missed the weekend clash and remains a doubt, while defender Bright Osayi-Samuel is unlikely to be ready following his exploits with Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The stats
Earlier this season Wednesday managed to secure a share of the points in a 2-2 with Birmingham.
The Blues have won two of the previous four games between the clubs, suffering just two losses against the Owls since 2018.
Wednesday have not scored a single goal across their last five competitive matches in all competitions. Indeed, the Owls have managed to score just 18 league goals across 26 matches this season.
They also have the worst defensive record in the second tier, conceding a staggering 52 goals.
Birmingham defeated Cambridge Utd in the FA Cup a couple of weeks ago, a result which followed just six days after a stunning 3-2 win over league leaders Coventry.
They have not kept a clean sheet since a 4-0 thrashing of Millwall at the start of November, indicating that they are certainly due one in the Championship.

Prediction
It is hard to find anything positive to say about the Owls given their recent form and the fact they are staring relegation in the face.
As such, Birmingham will be keen to take full advantage and secure a victory which could bolster their chances of finishing in the top half of the table.
Expect them to get off to a hot start and keep a first clean sheet in the league since November when they travel to Hillsborough.
