History of the Fulham v Birmingham City fixture

Blues face a trip to Craven Cottage on Tuesday afternoon looking to continue a decent return on past fixtures between the two sides on Fulham soil. Blues have won 13 of their previous 36 away games against the Londoners with 10 draws being recorded.

The most recent league encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago at Loftus Road, in April 2004, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Fulham find themselves struggling down in 15th position in the league having picked up 18 points from their 19 matches. Blues see themselves just below half way in 12th place in the Barclays Premiership, showing a record of 23 points from their 19 games played so far.

STB prediction ...

Blues are in reasonable form away from home coming into this match, and I'm fairly confident that they should come away from the capital with a victory from this contest. Away win
