Birmingham v Preston

Birmingham are at home for the third time in seven days where they have not won since defeating Hull on 3 March. They have lost the last three at St Andrews and previously drawn 1-1 with lowly Fulham in a seven-week spell which has seriously damaged their hopes of making the playoffs.  

One point from the last three games means it is impossible for Preston to finish in the top six so they can relax and play their football. They have done well without the pressure of expectation, winning away at Burnley in December and winning twice on the road in the last month before narrowly losing 1-0 to Middlesbrough in their most recent away game.

Preston is the selection at 11/5 with bet365 and it would be no surprise to see those odds shorten ahead of kick off
