The spoils were shared in Birmingham City's previous game, also at home. Visiting Hull City (placed 20th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Defender Roberts got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.51/10. Roberts hit one key pass and won 5 of 10 duels.

In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Bristol City.
The manager Bowyer will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Swansea City in only four days.

The Birmingham fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 18 matches. On the other hand, Birmingham City have conceded 23 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches. When Birmingham hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Cardiff City, Hull City, Barnsley, Reading, Derby County, Bristol City and Peterborough United), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 6 times.

伯明翰的上一场比赛也是在主场，他们分享了战利品。来访的赫尔城(排名第20)在0-0的比分后以平局收场。后卫罗伯茨在这场比赛中获得了全队的最高分，得分为7.51/10。罗伯茨打出了一个关键传球，并赢得了10次决斗中的5次。

在之前的比赛中，一场2-1战胜布里斯托尔城的比赛。
主教练鲍耶将在比赛结束后立即开始准备下一场比赛，因为东道主将在四天内前往斯旺西城。

伯明翰的球迷们可能希望在他们自己的主场看到更多的进球，18场比赛进了21球。另一方面，伯明翰城已经丢了23个球。最近他们的防守有所改善，在最近三场主场比赛中只丢了两个球。当伯明翰主场迎战积分榜上排名靠前的球队(如卡迪夫城、赫尔城、巴恩斯利、雷丁、德比郡、布里斯托尔城和彼得伯勒联队)时，6场比赛中有4场进球超过2.5个。
