League One champions Birmingham City make the trip to The Lamex Stadium on Thursday to face mid-table Stevenage in a clash that carries little at stake for either side.

Jamie Reid’s 12th-minute strike proved to be the decisive moment that handed his Stevenage side a vital three points on the road against Bristol Rovers, and that result has effectively secured their place in League Two for at least another campaign.

Only twelve months removed from their relegation, Birmingham City have engineered an emphatic return to the Championship, boasting a 13-point advantage over Wrexham in second while still having a pair of matches to spare.

Stevenage vs Birmingham City Betting Tips : BTTS

Since neither side has much to play for in the remainder of the season, both managers may shuffle their cards, pointing to an action-packed match where both sides are likely to find the net without much difficulty. At home, Stevenage have shown enviable productivity in front of goal, and it has been a rare occurrence for any visiting team to keep them at bay, with the only time their attack was halted in the last nine matches at Lamex being in a 0-1 loss to Burton, where Reid missed a penalty. With the league title already wrapped up, Birmingham heads into Thursday’s contest with complete freedom and no pressure, and this could set them up for another entertaining away performance, particularly after ending their last five third-tier away games with BTTS, while winning the most recent three 2-1. Having edged the reverse fixture 2-1, the Blues will be aiming to keep their title-winning momentum alive as they chase a triple-digit tally, and given the attacking firepower on display from both sides, we’re expecting another high-tempo battle where both teams should hit the target, so BTTS stands out as the top play.

Birmingham City

Birmingham City team news

In contrast, Birmingham will travel to Lamex Stadium without their Scottish duo, Scott Wright and Lyndon Dykes, as both are recovering from injuries, with the former ruled out for the rest of the year.

Manager Chris Davies made a couple of tweaks to his starting XI in the 2-1 weekend win over Burton, and more changes are likely as he looks to hand opportunities to some younger players.
