The Championship is reaching the final stretch, and the gaps are beginning to close, both for promotion and relegation, but with more than 30 points at stake anything can happen. This may be the most interesting stage of the season because of the pressure the teams will be under, so expect a lot of intensity in the Birmingham City vs Rotherham United match this Saturday, March 11.
These institutions are far from being able to be promoted to the Premier League this year, as they are in the second half of the table. There is only one point and one position difference between them, and although they are both unbeaten in the last round, the home team has little to boast about, being in the midst of a negative streak.

Betting on Birmingham City
Birmingham City got a 1-1 draw against Wigan last week. In that game, Birmingham took the lead, and all was seemingly set for it to end its win drought. However, it was not the case, since the rival took advantage of the second half to equalize the score. Birmingham has now gone five games without a win, and the only good thing about the recent draw is that it broke its losing streak.
In fact, the team is among those with the most defeats, with a record of 10 wins, nine draws and 16 losses. Should the team continue to accumulate negative results, its stay in the EFL Championship could be in jeopardy, since only seven points currently separate it from the relegation zone.
Although Birmingham has achieved 50% of its victories in home matches, it is difficult to see it winning just because of playing at home, since the team has only won one of its last five home matches. Actually, it lost the last two and could not score.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): John Ruddy; Kevin Long, Harlee Dean, Auston Trusty; Maxime Colin, Tahith Chong, Alfie Chang, Jordan Graham; Juninho Bacuna, Scott Hogan; Lukas Jutkiewicz.
Betting on Rotherham United
Rotherham United is the team showing the best performance prior to this match, since it has not lost in the last three matches, recording two wins and a draw. However, with nine wins, 13 draws and 13 defeats, Rotherham has only one point more than its opponents in this match. The team has been registering goals in each of his last five games.
Despite this better performance, Rotherham is not a team with a good reputation on the road, having won only two of its 18 away games this season, completing the record with eight draws and eight defeats. Registering those numbers, it is the third worst visiting team, and holds an eight-game winless streak in the EFL Championship, with the last win coming in November 2022. It has only one undefeated shutout in that period.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Viktor Johansson; Wes Harding, Bailey Wright, Cameron Humphreys, Leo Fuhr Hjelde; Conor Coventry, Hakeem Odofin, Tariqe Fosu-Henry; Chiedozie Ogbene, Jordan Hugill, Shane Ferguson.
JefeBet Prediction
These teams clashed six months ago this season, and the victory went to Rotherham by 2-0. Undoubtedly, Birmingham City vs Rotherham United will be a difficult match. Due of their home and away situations, respectively, they are likely to share points on this occasion.
Prediction: Draw by 1-1
