Birmingham City will host Bolton in the 32nd week of the English League Championship. Birmingham must win if they want their chances to penetrate the promotion playoff zone to remain open.
Birmingham City currently ranks 8th with a collection of 46 points. Birmingham are 4 points adrift of Bristol City in the 6th or final limit towards the promotion playoffs. This distance still has the potential to grow considering Bristol City has only played 30 times.
On the other hand, Bolton is currently stranded at number 23 or second place in the bottom of the standings. Of the 31 games they played, Bolton were only able to secure 23 points and currently they are 4 points away from Rotherham United in the last safe zone.
Seeing the facts above, both of them currently need additional points. Birmingham are required to win to keep their chances of penetrating the playoff zone, while Bolton also need additional points to keep hope in the ELC.
Birmingham itself will be more favored in this match. Apart from being a factor of the host and far enough away from the two teams on the board, the performance of the team made by Garry Monk is also still better than Bolton. Birmingham City will capitalize on the 2 wins they have won in their last 2 matches in this match. While Bolton, they were without a win in the last 7 matches on the ELC.
