Head-to-Head

Wolves have won three, lost one and drawn one of their last five matches against Birmingham.

Birmingham Form

Birmingham made it 3 draws and 1 win in their 4 Championship matches this season when they drew 1-1 at home to Southampton in their last match.

Birmingham have made themselves difficult to beat, opening their Championship campaign with one win and three draws while extending their unbeaten league run to nine matches. They responded well to their heavy EFL Cup defeat against Brentford, taking four points from Wrexham and Southampton. August Priske opened his league account with a strong header against Saints, while Patrick Roberts impressed creatively.

The concern remains at home, where the Blues are still searching for a first league victory this season and have conceded nine goals across their last three home matches. New arrival Liam Millar adds another attacking option out wide.

Wolves Form

Wolves lost their last match 4-2 away to West Ham after starting the Championship season with 2 wins and a draw, They also won their League Cup match 2-0 away to Sheffield Wednesday.

Wolves suffered their first major setback of the season with a 4-2 defeat at West Ham, ending a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions. Despite that loss, they remain fourth in the Championship with seven points from four games and have been one of the division's most dangerous attacking sides, scoring 11 league goals.

Fer Lopez has already contributed two goals and two assists, while Wolves have scored nine times across their last three Championship outings. Defensive issues remain, however, with no league clean sheet yet. Their recent record at St Andrew's is excellent, having won on their last three visits.
