Steve Bruce's City are in fine form, have won 5 straight games, scoring 15 goals in the process.
They have notched 2 or more, in each of their last 7 starts, 3 or more on 5 occasions. A win tonight will take them 11 points clear at the top of the table and in pole position for a quick return to the Premiership and all the riches, promotion brings with it.
Bruce will take the opprtunity to rotate his squad and has plenty of options at his disposal. Matthew Upson, who is being chased by half the clubs in the Premiership, is a doubt and unlikely to be risked.
No such luxury for Luton, who are without 3 players and have major doubts concerning the midfield trio of Bell, Brkovic and Robinson. Mike Newell's team, will pick itself, depending upon who is available come kick off.
Following an early mid season slump, during which they lost 8 in a row, Luton have stopped the rot, collecting 7 points from a possible 15 and playing fairly well in the process. They create plenty of chances and their total of 282 attempts on goal, is superior to Birmingham's.
Town are "over" in 3/4 starts, only Barnsley have conceded more on the road, where Luton matches average just shy of 3.0 per game.
Think we will see plenty of chances tonight and the "over", which is very fairly priced, is my selection.
4 points Birmingham-Luton over 2.5 goals asian line 1.98.
Back later.
Good Luck.
