Birmingham City
- Birmingham City have won three of their last five games, losing the other two.
- City sit 11th in the table with 21 points from 15 games, which represents a solid mid-table return in a long season, and our Birmingham City vs Norwich City betting tips reflect their consistency at home.
- Chris Davies has done a fine job since taking over as head coach in July 2024, instilling a disciplined 4-4-2 system that is strong in possession and has controlled tempo with very well-drilled pressing triggers.
Norwich City
- Norwich City have failed to win any of their last five, losing four times and drawing once.
- Norwich, by contrast, are rooted in 23rd place with nine points from the same 15 Championship matches.
- New boss Philippe Clement will be trying to introduce a more structured style of football with a possession base, calculated pressing and quicker transitions, as considered in our Birmingham City vs Norwich City betting tips.
- Norwich have taken just one point from their last three Championship away games.
Key Players
- Mathias Kvistgaarden has scored two of Norwich’s last three goals through what has been a tough time for the Canaries, but their most clinical forward in the Championship this season remains Joshua Sargent with five from 15.
- Birmingham’s Jay Stansfield has six in 14, so the striker with the better support will likely make the difference on Saturday, as highlighted in our Birmingham City vs Norwich City prediction.
