Team Form and Analysis for Birmingham City
Domestic Form and League Position
Birmingham City’s season has been marked by inconsistency, but they enter this match with a massive shot of confidence. Their last fixture saw them record a dominant 4-0 home victory over Portsmouth, a result hailed as their best performance of the season. This win ended a run of patchy form that had seen them lose two of their previous three matches. The 4-0 thrashing also showcased the Blues’ potential, particularly in exploiting set-piece opportunities.
Birmingham City currently sits in 11th place in the Championship table with 18 points from 13 matches. A win could potentially move them to within touching distance of the play-off places. Their home form has been resilient, with only one loss in their last seven league fixtures at St. Andrew’s. Manager Chris Davies will be focused on carrying the attacking threat demonstrated against Portsmouth into this difficult challenge against a disciplined Millwall side.
Key Player: Jay Stansfield
Forward Jay Stansfield is the leading goalscorer for Birmingham City and the main focus of their attack. His movement, tenacity, and ability to create chances are essential to the Blues’ attacking output. Although he missed a penalty in the last match, his overall presence and five goals this season highlight his importance. Stansfield’s ability to unsettle Millwall’s solid central defenders will be crucial to Birmingham’s chances of securing back-to-back home victories.
Team Form and Analysis for Millwall
Domestic Form and League Position
Millwall arrive in strong form, having enjoyed an excellent run in the Championship that has propelled them towards the top of the table. They are currently unbeaten in their last five league matches, securing four consecutive wins before being held to a dramatic 2-2 draw by Oxford United on the weekend, conceding an equaliser in the 96th minute. Despite the disappointment of the late goal, this run of results underscores their genuine promotion push.
The Lions currently occupy an impressive 4th place in the Championship table with 24 points from 13 matches. Their impressive start to the season sees them just one point outside the automatic promotion places. Crucially, Millwall are unbeaten in their six Championship away fixtures this season, a record featuring three wins and three draws on the road. Manager Alex Neil will expect his side to quickly shake off the feeling of a loss from the weekend’s draw and continue their formidable away run.
Key Player: Thierno Ballo
Attacking midfielder Thierno Ballo has emerged as a key creative force and goal threat for Millwall, proving particularly effective in recent games. The Austrian forward scored his first goal for the club in the last match and has also contributed a team-leading number of assists. Ballo’s direct running, vision, and ability to operate in the space between the midfield and defence will be essential in testing a Birmingham defence that has shown occasional vulnerabilities.

Players to Watch
Birmingham City
Paik Seung-Ho (Midfielder): The South Korean international opened the scoring in the last match and is a vital component of the midfield. His work rate and ability to contribute goals from midfield are key to establishing dominance.
Christoph Klarer (Defender): The captain scored a crucial goal against Portsmouth and provides leadership and physical presence at the back. His performance will be essential in dealing with Millwall’s direct and physical attack.
Millwall
Jake Cooper (Defender): The towering centre-back is the defensive leader and a major threat from set-pieces. His aerial dominance will be crucial in both boxes, particularly against a Birmingham side that found joy from set-plays last time out.
Luke Cundle (Midfielder): The attacking midfielder provides creativity and energy. His ability to link midfield and attack and his knack for smart off-the-ball runs will be key to breaking down the home side.
Prediction
This match is a classic clash between Birmingham’s desire to find consistency and Millwall’s impressive top-four aspirations. The Blues are undoubtedly boosted by their recent 4-0 win, but they face a Millwall side that has shown tactical discipline and an excellent unbeaten record away from home this season. Given Millwall’s defensive structure, their historical dominance in this fixture, and their desire to make amends for the late draw, they are marginally favoured. However, the confidence injected into the Birmingham side after their big win should ensure a tightly contested match.
Score Prediction: Birmingham City 1-1 Millwall
