League One champions Birmingham City head to Bloomfield Road to face Blackpool in the penultimate round of the 2024–25 season as they aim to set a new points record.

Blackpool strengthened their reputation as the "draw specialists" over the weekend as Lee Evans kept his cool from the penalty spot in the second half to salvage a 1-1 stalemate at Wigan, adding an incredible 16th draw to their tally, which is more than any other team in League One.

After dismantling Mansfield 4-0 amid a raucous crowd of 28,000 on Sunday afternoon, Birmingham City celebrated not just clinching the League One crown but also toppling the long-standing points benchmark of 103 posted by Wolverhampton Wanderers during the 2013-14 season and with two fixtures still to play their impressive total of 103 points could yet climb higher.

Blackpool vs Birmingham Betting Tips : BIRMINGHAM TO WIN

Even though promotion to the Championship was secured ahead of schedule, Birmingham have kept their foot firmly on the accelerator and will be eager to wrap up their League One campaign in style with another commanding display. With the playoffs now out of reach, it seems the Seasiders have mentally checked out for the summer as a string of flat performances has left them with just a modest four-point haul from their last four League One outings, making it unlikely they can pose any serious threat to the fearless champions. After suffering heartbreak in mid-April with a loss to Peterborough United in the EFL Trophy final, Birmingham responded brilliantly by grinding out a goalless 0-0 draw with Crawley before stringing together three consecutive wins with a dominant 7-1 aggregate scoreline. While chasing their own mission to set the highest points tally in League One history, the Blues can lean on their superb away form having toppled every host in their last four third-tier road trips, and with Blackpool showing little fight, we reckon Davies' high-flyers will be looking to leave their fifth consecutive visit with fists full.

Newly crowned League One champions Birmingham will be without Lee Buchanan, Emil Hansson, Scott Wright, and Scottish striker Lyndon Dykes, who is sidelined with a severe knee injury.
