Birmingham City vs Blackburn Rovers: Top free betting tips
Birmingham City will welcome Blackburn Rovers and former manager John Eustace to St Andrew's on Tuesday night in what is sure to be an entertaining Championship match. The Blues have lost all of their previous three matches, one of which was a 2-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday. Birmingham City has won twice, drawn three times and lost four of their previous nine matches. Blackburn has won two of their previous three matches, both being fairly high-scoring affairs with a 4-1 victory over Wrexham in the FA Cup and then a 3-1 victory over Stoke City in the Championship.
Both teams to score prediction: Yes
Both teams have scored in all of Blackburn's previous eight matches with the side from Lancashire failing to keep a clean sheet in their last fifteen matches. Blackburn have also scored in nine of their previous ten matches. Birmingham have failed to score in their last three matches but we can see Tony Mowbray changing things for this match to allow his attacking players to thrive more.
Total goals prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
Four of Birmingham's previous six matches have scored at least 2.5 goals with just two failing to hit that mark, one of which was a 2-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.
Correct score prediction: 2-1 to Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn, who recently sacked Jon Dahl Tomasson, does have it in them to win this match and we can see them taking their three points against Stoke City and allowing it to build their confidence ahead of the final fifteen games of the season. John Eustace will have a point to prove against his old club after being surprisingly sacked by Birmingham earlier in the season.

A happy Blackburn fan following the news of the appointment of John Eustace
Brilliant appointment this. #BCFC fans were gutted he left and wanted him back after Rooney. He should make us a sum of our parts. Compact at the back and hit teams on the coutner. Clearly don't have the players to play expansive football. Get this worst defense sorted. #Rovers

How far will Blackburn Rovers' fans have to travel to Birmingham?
The driving distance between Blackburn and Birmingham is just over two hours with 113 miles separating the two stadiums.
