Birmingham City, currently second in League One, will host Northampton Town this weekend, aiming to extend their impressive home record. The Blues have secured 16 points out of 18 at St. Andrews this season, winning their last five league matches. In contrast, Northampton sits 18th and has managed only one win in six away games.
Birmingham recently lost 1-0 to Charlton at the start of October but bounced back with a 3-1 win over Lincoln, a 2-0 victory against Bolton, and a 1-1 draw with Mansfield Town. They also triumphed 1-0 against Sutton United in the FA Cup last weekend.
Northampton comes into this match after a disappointing FA Cup exit, losing 2-1 to local rivals Kettering Town. Their away form has been poor, with no wins in their last three matches—losing 4-1 to Wrexham, drawing 1-1 with Stockport, and falling 2-1 to Lincoln.
Given Birmingham’s strong home performance and Northampton’s struggles, the Blues are favored to win this match.
