Match insight

Birmingham City and Portsmouth sit in completely different tiers of this table right now, and the points gap backs that up. Birmingham City currently sit 12 places and 6 points above Portsmouth in the table — 4th against 16th. Birmingham City have taken 10 points from their last 5, against 8 for Portsmouth over the same stretch. Form and table position both point the same way here, but a class gap on paper is still no guarantee on the day for Birmingham City against a motivated Portsmouth.
