THE PREDICTION
Stoke secured their first win of this season’s Championship campaign last weekend with a 0-1 triumph away at Preston, whilst Birmingham remained unbeaten in their first three league matches after a 1-1 draw at home to Rotherham. Both sides pride themselves on solid defences and a low scoring match looks very likely here, with the two managers probably happy to settle for a point going into the first international break of the season.
