Match preview
A Birmingham outfit in search of a bounce-back result are set to act as hosts in a Championship showdown with relegation-battling Hull City on Friday, December 30th.
The Blues have endured an altogether hit-and-miss go of things since their return to action on the back of the World Cup break earlier this month.
After first stuttering to a goalless stalemate with struggling Blackpool, John Eustace’s troops appeared to have gotten things back on track courtesy of a hard-fought downing of Reading.
Last time out, though, Birmingham were brought crashing back down to earth with a bang, owing to a three-goal drubbing at the hands of table-topping Burnley.
A 2nd defeat on the spin on Friday could therefore see the Blues sucked ever closer to the relegation dogfight.

And hopeful of condemning Birmingham to precisely that will be a Hull City outfit fighting for their Championship lives as things stand.
The Tigers currently sit just a solitary place clear of the drop zone, two points clear of a Huddersfield Town side fresh off a pair of back-to-back three-point hauls.
Liam Rosenior’s troops have not managed a single victory since their post-World Cup return to action earlier this month.
Instead, Hull have stuttered to a trio of consecutive draws, the most recent of which arrived earlier this week.
A meeting with fellow relegation candidates Blackpool saw the Tigers, despite dominating possession, require a late Oscar Estupinan equaliser to save them from what would have proven an altogether damaging defeat.
Hosts Birmingham should therefore likely be viewed as favourites, albeit just, to emerge triumphant come the full-time whistle on Friday night.
We at 101, though, nevertheless view an eventual sharing of the spoils as the most likely outcome at St. Andrew’s.
