• Fixture: Birmingham vs Charlton
• Date: Saturday, 13 December 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park

Birmingham will be looking to bounce back from their recent away defeats against QPR and Southampton. Playing at home, where they've had success against Watford and Norwich, could boost their confidence. With a strong attacking lineup featuring Marvin Ducksch and Jay Stansfield, they have the firepower to challenge Charlton's defence.

Charlton, on the other hand, have struggled recently, losing all of their last five matches. Despite their poor form, they might find some hope in their recent head-to-head record against Birmingham. However, their defensive frailties could be exploited by Birmingham's attacking threats.

Birmingham's recent form has been mixed, with two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five games. Their home form has been particularly strong, securing victories against Watford and Norwich. However, their away form has been a concern, losing to QPR and Southampton. This inconsistency might affect their confidence, but playing at home could give them the edge they need.

Recent Championship Results:

• Loss: 1-2 vs QPR (A)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Southampton (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Watford (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs West Brom (A)
• Win: 4-1 vs Norwich (H)

Charlton have had a tough run lately, losing all of their last five matches. The only positive is that last time out they kept things tight against an in-form Middlesbrough. The team has struggled to find the back of the net and has been leaky at the back, conceding multiple goals in most of their recent games. This poor form could impact their morale and performance against Birmingham.

Recent Championship Results:

• Loss: 1-2 vs Middlesbrough (H)

• Loss: 1-3 vs Coventry (A)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Stoke City (A)

• Loss: 1-5 vs Southampton (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Wrexham (A)

The head-to-head record between Birmingham and Charlton has been closely contested recently. In their last five encounters, each team has won twice, with one draw. The most recent league meeting saw the sides battle out a 1-1 draw. This suggests that both teams are capable of beating each other, making the upcoming match unpredictable.

Birmingham are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with James Beadle in goal and a back four of Osayi-Samuel, Neumann, Klarer, and Robinson. The midfield will be anchored by Iwata and Paik, with Roberts, Stansfield, and Gray supporting the lone striker Ducksch, who will be crucial in breaking down Charlton's defence.

• Predicted lineup: Kaminski (GK), Ramsay (DF), Gillesphey (DF), Jones (DF), Coventry (MF), Bree (MF), Berry (MF), Knibbs (MF), Carey (MF), Leaburn (AT), Campbell (AT)

Charlton are likely to deploy a 3-1-4-2 formation, with Kaminski in goal and a back three of Ramsay, Jones, and Gillesphey. Coventry will sit in front of the defence, with Bree and Berry on the flanks. The attacking quartet of Knibbs, Carey, Leaburn, and Campbell will look to exploit any gaps in Birmingham's defence.

• Marvin Ducksch vs Lloyd Jones: Marvin Ducksch's pace and finishing will be tested against Lloyd Jones's defensive solidity.

• Demarai Gray vs Luke Berry: Demarai Gray's creativity will be crucial in breaking down Luke Berry's midfield presence.

• Jay Stansfield (Birmingham): Jay Stansfield's versatility and goal-scoring ability make him a key player for Birmingham.

• Miles Leaburn (Charlton): Miles Leaburn's physical presence and goal threat are vital for Charlton's attack.
