Birmingham remain undefeated in the Championship, a draw against Norwich the only blip on their radar. And it would seem there is very little threat on that barely blemished record here as the Blues face a team who last managed to defeat them away from home in December 1969. So that’s one step close the £225,000 Footy 15 jackpot!

Alex McLeish’s unbeaten Birmingham side entertain a Doncaster team this weekend that have only been beaten once in the Championship since winning promotion. The Blues are one of 5 sides that remain undefeated after four League games though they dropped their first points of the season at Norwich in their last game. They also lost 2-0 in the Carling Cup at Southampton prior to this so may not be as full of confidence as you’d expect.

It’s not been a welcome return to the Championship for Derby. Alongside Burnley, the Rams have scored the fewest league goals so far this term - one. And things aren’t all that likely to vastly improve here as their recent encounters with Sheffield United rarely amount to a goal rush. Alas who needs a goal rush when there’s a £200,000 jackpot on Footy 15 waiting to be won.

Having held their own against Premier League relegated Reading on the opening day of the Championship season, Forest succumbed 3-1 to their fellow League One promoted team Swansea last week. It was a nightmare time for Forest goalkeeper Paul Smith who handed Swansea the lead after he put into his own net. Despite equalising before half time, Forest could simply not match the strength of the Swans and spent much of the second 45 marching to the tune of the home side.

This match should guarantee goals as both sides are free scoring but hardly watertight at the back. Wolves are the current top scorers in the division with 6 goals in two matches but also scored 3 goals in their Carling Cup match so averaging 3 goals a game. However, they’ve also conceded 5 goals in those matches.

The Sky Blues have had a remarkable start to the new campaign seeing that they only escaped relegation by a single point last season.

Alex McLeish’s Birmingham side have had a 100% winning start to the new campaign whilst FA Cup semi-finalists Barnsley have lost all 3 of their games. This weekend the teams clash at St Andrew’s with the Blues firm favourites for obvious reasons.
