Get ready for a potential goal-fest as Birmingham City clashes with Watford in a Championship showdown at St Andrew's! Birmingham's home form has been electrifying, scoring a staggering 12 goals in their last three matches at St Andrew's. Each of those games featured at least four goals. Watford, not to be outdone, have found the net in each of their last five games and are unbeaten in that sequence, demonstrating their own attacking prowess.
Birmingham's Fortress: St Andrew's Roaring
Birmingham City, under Chris Davies, have transformed St Andrew's into a fortress. They've won five of their eight home games this season, only losing once. Their attacking players are brimming with confidence, and the team is eager to continue their climb towards the play-off places.
Watford's Away Woes: Can They Overcome?
Watford, managed by Javi Gracia, will be looking to improve their away form, having secured only one away win in the Championship so far. However, they'll take heart from their unbeaten run and the return of winger Giorgi Chakvetadze, who is gradually regaining match fitness.
Team news sees Birmingham likely to have Phil Neumann available, but Willum Willumsson is still sidelined. Ethan Laird, Lee Buchanan, Scott Wright and Tomoki Iwata also remain unavailable. Watford are still without Kwadwo Baah, Rocco Vata, Jack Grieves, Caleb Wiley and Egil Selvik.
