BIRMINGHAM - BARNSLEY PREDICTION STATS
Birmingham have started to pick up with an unbeaten run of three matches. With 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. Birmingham's 2 wins where by a solitary goal, the 2 defeats where by a 1 goal and a 2 goal margin. Birmingham are averaging 2.83 goals per game and have kept one clean sheet.
Barnsley are just a point behind The Blues on 7 points with 2 wins, 1 draw and three losses. The two wins were achieved with 1 goal victories. The losses were by 1, 2 and 4 goals. They have two clean sheets so far and average goal per game stands at 2.83goals per game.
TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY
Birmingham have finally started to pull together and coach Lee Clark has lifted some off the pressure of himself and his team. After a poor opening period The Blues have found relief at last. They have a mounting injury list though and may not be able to stretch any further. Paul Caddis dislocated his shoulder, Stephen Carr is already sidelined for six months. Midfielder Darren Ambrose is likely to miss the game too. Nikola Zigic may find his way back into the squad after being dropped for the Bolton game.
Barnsley are really struggling away form Oakwell, with three straight defeats the Yorkshiremen play without any confidence. They have a fair 1st eleven but lack any creativity, chances are few and far between. Usually the result of set pieces or dead balls. Away from home have less momentum and are easily turned over. John Stones is out with Craig Davies doubtful. Striker Bobby Hassell remains suspended and Barnsley have a long injury list with defenders Jim McNulty and Rob Edwards, plus midfielder Jim O'Brien and striker Mido all missing.
1X2 BETTING PREDICTION
1.62 on Birmingham (BetVictor) is the selection, even though it is on the short side its value for a certain home win. Birmingham are improving game by game and the football is there. Barnsley are inept away from Oakwell and will wilt under the constant pressure. Birmngham have a big squad so if coach Clark wants to rotate he can. Barnsley don't have the resources and will have to field the same eleven or near enough as. Fatigue may play a part here after 3 games in quick succession.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION
Over goals 1.82 (188bet) is the slight favourite here in one the the tightest looking games according to the current statistics. With both teams averaging 2.83 goals per game overs looks good. I can see Birmingham scoring at least two goals here and with Barnsley capable of having a go the over looks a good thing. The line is on the move also with some firms going as short as 1.67 so the advice is get on quick!
