Birmingham City form

Birmingham maintained their perfect record at St Andrew's in the Championship by defeating newly-promoted Plymouth Argyle last weekend. The team took an early lead with Scott Hogan scoring his first goal of the season. Despite Plymouth gaining control of the possession, they managed to equalize through Ryan Hardie after halftime. However, Birmingham secured victory with a remarkable last-minute goal from new signing Jay Stansfield. Currently placed third in the Championship, Birmingham is among the five clubs that have not suffered a defeat in the second tier. It is worth noting, though, that they were eliminated from the EFL Cup by Cardiff City on Tuesday night.

Birmingham City Predicted Lineup

Ruddy; Bacuna, Sanderson, Long, Buchanan; Bielik, Sunjic, Anderson, Miyoshi, Stansfield; Hogan

Millwall form

Gary Rowett returns to St Andrew's with his Millwall team, who have missed out on the playoffs in the last three seasons. Fans are hopeful that the 2023-24 season can finally be their chance to secure a top-six finish. Millwall ended their three-match losing streak by narrowly defeating Stoke City at The Den, with Kevin Nisbet scoring the only goal. Rowett's side currently sits in 11th place in the Championship table, but they have the opportunity to reach level points with the top six if results go their way this weekend. Millwall has several former Birmingham players in their squad, including Wes Harding and Matija Sarkic, who are expected to face their previous club on Saturday.

Millwall Predicted Lineup

Sarkic; Leonard, Hutchinson, Cooper; Norton-Cuffy, Mitchell, Saville, Bryan, Flemming; Bradshaw, Nisbet

Birmingham City vs Millwall Expert Tips

Birmingham has performed exceptionally well in the start of their campaign, earning 10 points out of a possible 12. However, we predict that their streak of last-minute victories will come to an end this weekend. Millwall, their opponents on Saturday, will likely allow Birmingham to have possession of the ball at St Andrew's. This intentional tactic has proven effective in countering Birmingham's style of attacking through counter-attacks. We expect the home side to come away with all three points in the game with under 2.5 goals.
