Birmingham - Ipswich Town: Form Analysis
Birmingham City have made a mixed start to the season. They come into this match off the back of a 3-1 loss to Southampton last weekend, which extended their recent run of results to three consecutive losses. During that time, the hosts also lost 1-0 to Middlesbrough and 2-0 to Hull City. Their record this season reads as five wins, three draws and six losses. However, with the table still being very compact, The Blues are only five points behind the top five teams in the league. The hosts' major strength this season has been their home form. They were unbeaten in their first six matches at St Andrew's, with their only defeat coming in their last match here against Hull City. The last time these sides met, the match ended 1-1, and based on the current standings, the hosts would likely be the happier of the two if this one ended level as well.
Meanwhile, it’s been a dream start to life back in the Championship for Ipswich Town this season. The Tractor Boys won their last league match 3-2 against Plymouth Argyle at home. With that result, they come into this fixture carrying a four-match winning streak in league matches and are unbeaten in their last nine. The only league defeat they have suffered this season came against Leeds United at the end of September. Aside from the Championship, Ipswich were only beaten by Premier League outfit Fulham in the League Cup. The visitors are also unbeaten in six away matches this season and have maintained clean sheets in four of their last five on the road. With that record, the bookmakers have them down as the clear favourites to win this one.

Birmingham & Ipswich Town Squad Analysis
Birmingham City’s new manager Wayne Rooney has several injury absentees to contend with in this one. Lee Buchanan (ankle), Keshi Anderson (hamstring), and George Hall (hamstring) are shorter-term absentees and should be back in action by the end of the month. Alfie Chang (knee) and Tyler Roberts (calf) have not featured this season and may only return to the side in the New Year.
In the opposite dugout, Kieran McKenna will be grateful that his side have avoided injuries, for the most part, this season. Lee Evans is the only player on the casualty list and is expected to remain on the treatment table for the foreseeable future. Wes Burn has notched up four yellow cards already this season and will miss one match if he receives another caution in this one.
