Birmingham City will square up with Blackburn Rovers at St. Andrew’s Stadium as the Championship enters round thirty-nine. 

Host Birmingham City are far behind the playoffs race due to their inconsistency. The Blues occupy the 18th spot with 45 points from 38 games. Head coach John Eustace earned a slim victory over Queens Park Rangers before the international break and will look to maintain his team’s momentum.

Blackburn Rovers bounced back from their slip at Stoke City with a statement win over Reading FC.

The Riversiders got eliminated from the FA Cup by Sheffield United and have shifted their focus on promotion to the Premier League as they currently sit fifth on the league table with eight games left.
