Cardiff City vs Birmingham City: EFL Championship Live Stream, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

Birmingham City will be taking on Cardiff City in a Championship clash that would see two sides looking to bounce back quickly from their EFL Cup disappointments. Both teams lost their last match in the domestic cup and got eliminated in the opening round of the competition. Their managers will be looking for an instant reaction when they face each other at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday. Despite the defeat, Birmingham’s impressive second-half comeback will give them a lot of confidence. The same cannot be said for Cardiff, who are on a two-game losing run.

Birmingham started the new Championship season with a draw and a win. After holding out Luton Town for a goalless draw in the opener, they got the better of Huddersfield Town in their last league game. Despite losing the EFL Cup match to Norwich, Birmingham’s manager will be proud of the team’s comeback in the second half to make it 2-2 from 2-0 down before losing the match on penalties. Meanwhile, Cardiff surprised Norwich City 1-0 in their opener before losing to Reading last weekend after taking the lead. It was followed up by a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Portsmouth in the EFL Cup.
