Prediction

  • Birmingham couldn't find a way past Matija Sarkic on Saturday afternoon and were condemned to defeat late on when centre-back Japhet Tanganga sent the points the way of Millwall.
  • The Blues are now in an extremely precarious position in the relegation battle after picking up just one point from their last four league games.
  • Middlesbrough kicked into another gear in the second half at the weekend with goals from Emmanuel Latte Lath and Marcus Forss sealing a priceless 2-0 away win against QPR.
  • Back-to-back wins have eased any fears that the Teessiders could be dragged into a relegation battle late in the campaign.
