Birmingham City welcome Charlton Athletic to St. Andrew’s this week, with both sides eager to reignite their seasons as the festive fixture list approaches. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birmingham have enjoyed recent dominance in this fixture, taking three wins from the last five meetings, and return home aiming to exploit Charlton’s patchy away form. Kick-off is set for 3:00 PM on Saturday, and with only five points separating these sides in the table, the stakes are high for both managers as they look to pull clear of the bottom third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on Birmingham’s higher attacking output and dominant head-to-head record, we’re particularly confident backing the hosts to win, while Jay Stansfield’s recent involvement in Birmingham’s attack points towards him as a potential First Goalscorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
