Bristol City vs Birmingham City Prediction
Bristol are closer to relegation than Birmingham and are in more need of a victory than the visitors. However, the Blues will be desperate after losing their last three games.
The Robins will look to pile on the misery, but their record at home hasn't been great, so expect Birmingham to walk away with at least a point.
