A win on opening day at Brentford certainly got the Brummies in the mood but they were dumped out of the EFL Cup 3-0 by Portsmouth.

Two weeks on from that cup exit, Birmingham are still finding their feet but there is hope among fans that a playoff push is possible this season.

As for Barnsley, they are also out of the EFL Cup and lost their derby game against Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 earlier this month.

The remit for the Tykes is to stay in the Championship this season and three points here would boost those aspirations.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…

It's been a tough few weeks for Barnsley. Despite beating Fulham on the opening day of the season, the loss to rivals Sheffield Wednesday dented those start-of-season dreams.

This is the sort of game they need to scrap out a point at if they are to survive in the Championship.

Then again, it's also a vital game for Birmingham as manager Pep Clotet sets his sights on promotion.

The Blues come into this match off the back of a trip to Nottingham Forest but should still have enough to take a narrow win.
