Birmingham City and Hull City will battle for three points in an EFL Championship round 10 clash on Saturday. The game will be played at St. Andrew's Stadium.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Wrexham before the international break a fortnight ago. They went into half-time trailing to George Dobson's 13th-minute strike. Patrick Roberts equalized in the opening seconds of the second half.
Hull, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 1-0 home win over Sheffield United. Babajide Akintola broke the deadlock at the half-hour mark and his goal proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The victory left The Tigers in 15th spot in the standings, having garnered 12 points from nine games. Birmingham are directly below them in the table, level on the same number of points.

Birmingham City vs Hull City Prediction
Birmingham City have done much better in front of their fans than on their travels this season, with 66% of their 12 ponts this season coming in home games.
Hull City, on the other hand, have the worst away record in the league, having garnered just two points from four away games. They also have the joint-worst away defensive record with eight goals conceded on their travels. However, the Yorkshire outfit have lost on just one of their last six visits to this ground (three draws).
Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
