Birmingham City has taken 38 points from 33 Championship matchdays, which places the team in the 19th place in the standings, just behind Queens Park Rangers. This team has won 10 games, drawn 8 and lost 15 so far in the Championship. Moreover, it has scored 38 goals and allowed 45, giving them -7 in goal difference.

Indeed, Birmingham City has attained two wins, one against Swansea City 3-4, and one against West Bromwich Albion 2-0, and it has reached three defeats, against Cardiff City 0-2, against Huddersfield Town 2-1, and against Norwich City 3-2. Despite this, the team managed to score 8 goals in five matches played, but it has also conceded 10, so the team urgently needs to strengthen its defense.
