One Championship game this week that could have major consequences in the battle against relegation sees Birmingham host Cardiff.

Birmingham have had a wretched campaign so far and are currently in the bottom three, one point from safety.

Cardiff still have an outside chance of making the playoffs, but need to consistently collect points in their remaining five games.

Current Form

Birmingham Current Form

At the beginning of the month, Birmingham enjoyed a morale-boosting 1-0 home win against Preston, but they were brought back down to Earth with a 2-1 home loss against league title challengers Leicester.

They have won just one out of their last nine in the Championship and lost four out of their last five. You need to look back to 2nd March to find a game when they managed to score more than just a single goal.

Cardiff Current Form

Cardiff's recent form has been up and down as they have lost three out of their last five and won the other two.

They followed up a 2-1 away win versus Coventry with a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Hull recently.

Birmingham Team News

Lukas Jutkiewicz and Marc Roberts are definite absentees, while Oliver Burke may not play again this season.

Juninho Bacuna, Krystian Bielik and Koji Miyoshi were all taken off versus Leicester due to apparent tiredness, but they should all be fine to feature against Cardiff.

Cardiff Team News

Manchester City loanee Josh Wilson-Esbrand is unavailable after picking up a hamstring injury at the weekend, while Ryan Wintle remains unavailable.

Scoreline Prediction

Birmingham have been fairly hapless recently, while Cardiff can't put together a run of decent form, so a draw seems a fairly likely result.

Birmingham 1-1 Cardiff.
