Birmingham v Wolverhampton Wanderers: unbeaten hosts meet free-scoring visitors | OneFootball

Birmingham City host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Championship at St Andrew's on 6 September 2026, with both sides sitting in early play-off places after four games.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have taken two of the past three Championship meetings, while Birmingham City won once, and only one point separates them ahead of kick-off.

Birmingham are unbeaten in four league matches, winning one and drawing three, and have conceded only four times. Wolves have seven points and 11 goals from four, though they lost at West Ham last time.

Birmingham list Max Bird and Taylor Gardner Hickman as injured. Wolves have Kieran Trippier, Jeanricner Bellegarde, Rafiki Said Ahamada and Yerson Mosquera sidelined.

Wolves average 55% possession with 85.92% pass accuracy, so they may look to control the ball. Birmingham's 68 open-play crosses at 23.53% accuracy and three headed goals point to an aerial route that could trouble a defence yet to keep a clean sheet. Raúl Jiménez, Fer López and Rodrigo Gomes each have two league goals, while Phil Neumann leads for Birmingham with two.

Wolves are fourth on seven points. A win would take them to 10 and could strengthen their early play-off grip. Birmingham sit eighth with six. Three points would move them to nine and keep them firmly in the promotion picture.
