Prediction

  • Birmingham look back to their absolute best with the Boxing Day victory over Burton making it six wins on the bounce heading into their final game of the year.
  • But with second-place Wycombe still hot on their heels, only maximum points here will ensure they start 2025 sitting top of League One.
  • Blackpool's four-game unbeaten run was ended in heartbreaking fashion after they conceded late on at Wrexham to suffer a 2-1 defeat.
  • It doesn't get any easier with a trip to the leaders, although they did win on their last trip to St Andrew's in April 2023.
