History
The scales have been tipped in Birmingham's favor in the last five meetings between the teams. Birmingham has won on three occasions while Blackpool has won only twice.
Key player - Birmingham
Birmingham continues to fight to climb further up the table, and for this, goals are needed. The scorer of the moment is Scott Hogan, the 30-year-old Irish striker who has nine goals and one assist so far this season.
Key player - Blackpool
Despite the current moment, Blackpool has managed to pick up a couple of points with several victories. In the middle of their squad, they have a natural goal scorer. That is Jerry Yates, the 26-year-old English striker who has nine goals and two assists in 21 games.
Birmingham
Birmingham City has a slightly more encouraging outlook, although it is not exactly the best. They are a little below the middle of the table, exactly in the 14th place, with 28 points, one behind FC Reading and Coventry City. Their last five results have been two draws, two wins and one defeat.
Blackpool
Blackpool is not in a good moment. They have not been able to get out of the relegation zone, as they are in 23rd position in the table with 22 points, one point behind Wigan Athletic and West Brom. Their last five results have been catastrophic, as they have only conceded one victory, and the rest, only defeats.
