Birmingham City vs Manchester City

March 29, 2008

29/3- Manchester City are currently on the 8th position and are tied with two other teams on points and this week when they travel to take on the 17th placed Birmingham City they would be hoping to make the most of the opportunity and get a victory with a good margin as that would help them improve the goal difference. Birmingham City on the other hand are just a point out of the relegation zone and while playing this match at home they would like to score some points and ensure that they can keep out of the danger zone. The last times both these teams faced each other was earlier this season and while playing at home Manchester City had won the match 1-0. The overall record also lies heavily in favour of Manchester City as out of the 11 matches between the sides they have been able to win 8 while Birmingham have only been able to register two victories. Playing at home Birmingham have not been the greatest team but the crowd will surely want to see a dedicated performance by their team.

Looking at the current form both teams cannot be differentiated greatly as both have been going through a torrid phase but since Manchester City had a good first half of the season they still feature in the top half of the table. In the last 10 matches played Manchester City have won a couple while lost 4 and drawn 4, while Birmingham City have only managed to get a single victory in the last 10 matches losing 4 and drawing 5 matches.

Manchester City come into this match after they were held for a draw by Bolton in an away match last week and their away form has also not been great. Birmingham on the other hand lost their match to Reading 2-1, in an away match and their confidence would be a little low.

Prediction: 0-0, draw
