Analysis Birmingham

The home team comes to this 2nd leg match with the advantage of the away draw by (2‑2), so all they need is a tie for under 2 goals to stay ahead in the aggregate result. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. Birmingham has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Birmingham City comes for this match after a 2-2 draw on the trip to Blackburn Rovers, valid for the 4th round of the FA Cup: the team's goals were scored by Jordan James and Reda Khadra. The home team usually plays in a 5-3-2, favoring a style of play in constant transitions, with the two most advanced players being Lukas Jutkiewicz and Reda Khadra. The man responsible for defining and leading his team's attacks is midfielder Gary Gardner. Out of this game are Dominic Hyam, Callum Brittain, Adam Wharton and Clinton Mala, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Neil Etheridge, Auston Trusty, Dion Sanderson, Kevin Long, Maxime Colin, Juninho Bacuna, Hannibal Mejbri, Reda Khadra, Alfie Chang, Scott Hogan, Mbule Emmanuel.
Coach: T. Mowbray.

Analysis Blackburn

The away team comes to this 2nd leg match in disadvantage, since despite the 1st leg draw they have conceded 2 goals at home. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Blackburn has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 11 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Blackburn Rovers comes for this game after a 2-2 draw against Birmingham, counting for the 4th round of the FA Cup: Bradley Dack and Joe Rankin-Costello scored the team's goals. The visiting team usually plays in a 4-3-3, giving more priority to quick transitions. It should be noted that, in this tactical formation, the away club chooses to put Ben Brereton Díaz, Ryan Hedges and Sam Gallagher in front. Coach Jon Dahl Tomasson should not be able to count on Gary Gardner, Harlee Dean, Marc Roberts and George Hall, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Aynsley Pears, Harry Pickering, Daniel Ayala, Scott Wharton, Lewis Travis, Joe Rankin-Costello, John Buckley, Bradley Dack, Jack Vale, Tyrhys Dolan, Ben Brereton.
