Birmingham City hosts Middlesbrough at St Andrews this evening as both teams aim to boost their promotion chances.
After a recent loss to Millwall, Birmingham finds itself eight points away from the play-off positions, although they have a game in hand. This setback broke an eight-match unbeaten streak, but the team has shown improvements under Chris Davies following significant changes last summer.
Middlesbrough currently holds the second spot in the league, facing strong competition from Millwall and Ipswich Town for automatic promotion.
