Blackburn Rovers face a tricky test against a resilient Birmingham City in the FA Cup fourth round replay on Tuesday night. The earlier match did not go in the way of Blackburn, as Birmingham equalised in injury time to take the clash into a replay. If their positions on the table are taken into consideration, the visitors will be the favourites to prevail in this tie. However, the earlier contest between these teams has already proven that Birmingham can be a difficult opponent for any side.
Both teams are not in the best of forms at the moment. Even though Blackburn Rovers are sitting near the top end of the table, they are going through a difficult spell at this time. The visitors have won only one of their last five matches in the Championship and drew one, and lost the remaining three games. As a result, Blackburn have 43 points from 28 games to be placed fifth in the table.
For Birmingham City, it is all about steering clear of the dreaded drop zone. Birmingham are placed 19th in the table with 32 points from 28 matches. Their form is neither great at this moment, as they have lost their last five Championship games. If Birmingham City are to produce an upset victory on Tuesday night, they have to be at the top of their game to even have a chance of making it through to the next round.
