Birmingham stretched their unbeaten run to four matches last weekend when they drew 2-2 with Swansea. It means that going into this fixture the second city side sit in tenth spot on 28 points.
At home, the Blues are unbeaten in recent times going six without a defeat with four of these finishing all-square. Scott Hogan enjoys a home game grabbing two in his last four in front of his own fans.
Sunderland will be looking to bounce back from a 1-0 home loss to Cardiff last weekend. It was their fourth defeat from their last seven and the North-Eastern side have won just two of ten.
This poor run of form has seen them slide down to 17th in the Championship table just four points above the drop zone. On the road, the Black Cats have won just one of their last five but have netted in four of these.
Birmingham vs Sunderland: Match Stats
Despite their poor run of form recently Sunderland have netted in five of their last six on the road. Birmingham recently played out a 2-2 draw here with Swansea and four of their last six have seen both teams net. Backing both teams to score in this one looks the play.
Scott Hogan is in good form with two in his last two and four from the previous six games. He will fancy his chances of adding to his tally against a Black Cats defence that has kept just one clean sheet in their last seven. The Birmingham front man looks good value to score in this one.
