Charlton are in a rough patch. They have lost their most recent match and haven't won any of their last five games, with three draws and two defeats. Birmingham have had a mixed run too, winning a couple of games but also suffering two heavy losses recently. Both teams are struggling to find consistent form, so neither looks clearly stronger right now.

The last two meetings between these clubs both ended in narrow one-goal wins for Birmingham, and those games didn't produce many goals. This time, with both sides short on confidence, the match could be fairly tight and low-scoring. It looks like a close game that could easily end in a draw.
