Birmingham have had a rough run lately, losing their last two games and conceding a lot of goals in both, though they did win a couple of matches before that. West Ham, on the other hand, are in much better shape - they've won three of their last five, including some big-scoring victories, and they only drew the other two. So the visitors clearly come into this one looking sharper.

These two sides haven't met recently, so there's no history of high-scoring games between them to go on. Birmingham have struggled defensively and West Ham are scoring freely, which makes the away side look the stronger of the two. On current form, West Ham should have the edge and are the more likely team to come away with the win.
