Birmingham City host Hull City at St Andrew’s on Saturday in a match where both sides desperately need to pull away from mid-table mediocrity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3:00 PM kick-off pits two evenly-matched teams, each on 12 points after nine games, whose seasons have been marked by inconsistent form and defensive frailties. With Birmingham struggling to turn possession into goals and Hull boasting a clinical attack but a leaky back line, this is set up as a fascinating clash between styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
