Birmingham Looking to Build on Previous Win

Birmingham City won last time out by a 2-1 scoreline. It was on the road against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. Chris Davies' side had the majority of the ball enjoying 59% possession and four shots on target, while Jay Stansfield and Lyndon Dykes scored one goal apiece.

Oxford United have now lost back-to-back league games. On the road in their previous Championship appearance, Hull City won 3-2 at MKM Stadium. The U's were restricted to just 26% possession and had six shots on goal, with Will Lankshear and Cameron Brannagan on the scoresheet.
