Prediction

  • Blackpool looked to have played themselves into genuine playoff contention earlier this month, but four points from their last four games means they now cannot finish any higher than eighth.
  • However, maximum points from their final two outings will see them leapfrog Bolton and match last season's efforts.
  • Birmingham's scintillating campaign could hit a new high here with Reading's 106-points EFL record within their grasp.
  • The Blues, who have racked up 105 points, require just one win, either at Bloomfield Road or against Cambridge on Saturday, to create history.
