Birmingham City vs Middlesbrough

26/12- This is a classic bottom half tie with team number 15 and 16, separated by a couple of points, facing off each other. Birmingham City play hosts to Middlesbrough, a club that has put up some stunning performances in the past few weeks. Both the clubs enter this match after losses while Birmingham City were dumped 3-0 by the Bolton wanderers Middlesbrough went down fighting against West Ham United in their 1-2 loss. If we take a look at the history between the two clubs, Middlesbrough end up clear favorites as they have won 6 of the 9 matches and the interesting part is that there have been no draws, this would leave the audience gasping for a result. The visitors, Middlebrough have been riding high on form after they managed to defeat Arsenal a couple of weeks ago and they are the only team this season in the premiership that has been able to beat the league leaders and end their unbeaten run. Middlebrough have just one person on the injury list and that is striker Mido or else they have almost the complete squad to choose from. Downing and Sanli have been the top most scorers for the club this season and it appears that they might have to play the again. A win here can potentially help Middlesbrough jump a couple of places in the points table as well. Birmingham City on the other hand have been very poor in their home form as well and rely heavily on Jeremy and Kapo to create opportunities and then convert them in to goals. The club and its supporters are in desperate search of points and they would sooner have to get more of them in order to keep safe distance from the relegation zone. Prediction: 1-2, Middlesbrough win
