Birmingham City will be looking to record back-to-back victories when they host strugglers Blackpool at St Andrew's in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Blues produced a gritty display at The Den on Tuesday night to beat Millwall, while Blackpool's relegation fears intensified with a loss against West Bromwich Albion.
We say: Birmingham City 2-1 Blackpool
Birmingham are continuing to push up the Championship table despite their safety being secured - we are expecting another lively performance from Blues on Saturday.
With their squad as thin as ever, Blackpool travel to the Second City knowing relegation to League One could be sealed if they do not win, and we believe the Seasiders will fail to pick up anything from their outing at St Andrew's.
