- Burnley won their last home league match
- Birmingham City drew their last away match
- Both teams scored against each other in their last meeting.
The English Championship League is set for another game week in the 2022/2023 season, which is the twenty-fourth round for every team. The league is still challenging as every team is battling for promotion to the English Premier League, the top tier in all England football leagues.
Some teams are sitting at the top of their standings. Still, there are twenty-three games before the season ends, so we still can’t predict who will be promoted.
The teams at the top of the league table include Burnley, Sheffield United, Blackburn, and Watford. They are in the top four standings, but Burnley remains the best team, sitting first above Sheffield United with three points difference. It means the points between them are small, and there is a chance for Sheffield to move above Burnley.
On the other hand, Blackburn sits third in their standings with thirty-nine points after playing twenty-three matches. There is still a chance for them to compete for the first position, as Blackburn will play more games this season. We are looking at two teams from different cities as they are set to play their second leg of the ongoing season.
In that case, we would love to see an exciting game, as the teams are looking forward to earning additional three points to their initial points. Check our article below as we provide both teams’ game information, betting preview, odds breakdown, and our best Burnley vs Birmingham score prediction.
