Yaşar Kenan Şeftalicioğlu provides his analysis

In this match, Birmingham City’s 8 goals scored and 7 conceded in their last 5 overall matches show averages of 1.6 scored and 1.4 conceded per match; the total goals average is 3. In Birmingham's matches, 1 or more goals were scored in 100%, 2 or more in 80%, and 3 or more in 80%; the rate for 4 or more goals was 40%, while 5 or more goals stood at 0%. The picture is more active at home: they scored 7 goals and conceded 7 in 4 matches, with both sides averaging 1.75 and the total reaching 3.5 goals per match. In 100% of these matches, 1 and 2 or more goals were scored; in 75%, 3 and 4 or more goals were scored. Preston North End scored 5 goals and conceded 7 in their last 5 match; their averages are 1 and 1.4, with a total goal average of 2.4. In this series, 1 or more goals occurred in 100%, 2 and 3 or more in 60%, 4 or more in 20%, and 5 or more in 0%. Away from home, they scored 4 goals and conceded 7 in 4 matches; with averages of 1 and 1.75, there were 2.75 goals in total. 2 and 3 or more goals were scored in 75% of away matches.

In the first half, 1 or more goals were scored in 100% of Birmingham's matches overall, and 2 or more in 60%; at home, these rates were 100% and 50%. For Preston overall, 1 or more first-half goals occurred at 60%, and 2 or more at 40%; away, the figures were 75% and 50%. Birmingham have scored most often between minutes 30-45+, finding 3 goals there, followed by 2 goals each between 45-60 and 60-75; they conceded 4 goals in the same 30-45+ period. Of Preston’s 5 total goals, 3 came between minutes 0-15 and 2 between minutes 15-30; they did not score in the second half, while conceding 4 goals between 75-90+. Combining the two teams' recent matches, expected goals were 2.7; both teams scored in 7 matches, occurring at a rate of 70%. 2 and 3 or more goals occurred in 10 of 7 matches, at 70%; 4 or more goals occurred in 3 matches at 30%, and 5 or more goals at 0%. In the first half, 1 or more goals occurred at 80%, and 2 or more at 50%. Across their last 5 meetings, goals averaged 2.2 per match, both teams scored in 3 matches, and 3 matches had more than 2.5 goals. I think the decisive point will be how Birmingham's home attacking output meets Preston's defensive vulnerability, particularly late in matches.

Yaşar Kenan Şeftalicioğlu provides his analysis

Although the corner rhythm in the Birmingham City–Preston North End match looks quite similar in the two teams' overall data, the venue changes the picture. In their last 5 matches, Birmingham averaged 6.6 corners taken and 6 conceded per match; the total average was 12.6. In the last 4 home matches, their corner average fell to 5.75, while the average conceded to opponents dropped to 3.75, leaving the total at 9.5. Even so, 8 or more corners occurred in all of their home matches, while the 9 and 10 or more corner thresholds stood at 50%. At home, Birmingham’s rate of producing 3 or more corners is 100%, 5 or more is 75%, and 6 or more is 50%. Preston average 6 corners won, 6 conceded to opponents and 12 total corners. However, away from home their own output drops to 3.25, while the value they concede to opponents rises to 6; the total is 9.25. In away matches, the 8, 9, 10 and 11 or more corner thresholds occurred at 50%, while 12 or more was 25%. For Preston, the team rate for 3 or more corners is 75%, 4 or more is 50%, and 5 or more is 0%. Birmingham's highest overall total is 16 and Preston's is 19, showing that the fluctuations cannot be completely disregarded.

The corner balance is the main point that stands out to me. Birmingham had more corners than their opponents in 4 of their last overall matches and trailed in only 1; at home, the balance is 3 to 1 in Birmingham's favor. Overall, Preston have been ahead of their opponents 2 times, level 1 times and behind 2 times; away from home, they have been ahead in only 1 matches and behind their opponents in 3. As a result, moving play toward the flanks and Birmingham maintaining pressure around the opponent’s penalty area could be decisive. When the two teams’ recent matches are combined, the expected total is 12.3 corners, with Birmingham accounting for 6.3 and Preston 6. The fact that 9, 10 and 11 or more corners occurred in 7 of 10 matches supports the possibility of lively corner sequences at certain stages; the combined first-half average is 5.4. Even so, Preston's low output away from home makes it important to see how well they can withstand Birmingham's pressure. Bearing in mind that the sample is limited to the last few matches, the point I’ll be watching is the home team’s early pressure wide and how Preston responds.

Yaşar Kenan Şeftalicioğlu provides his analysis

In the meeting between Birmingham City and Preston North End, I’ll be watching how calmly the players remain after the physical duels. Birmingham received 13 cards in their last 5 matches, while their opponents had 10; at 2.6 cards per match versus 2 and a total average of 4.6, this suggests the home side carries more of the disciplinary burden. Preston have 10 cards against 9, an average of 1.8 against 2, and 3.8 overall. Total cards of 3 or more occurred at 80% for Birmingham and 60% for Preston; 4 or more occurred at 60% versus 40%. For both, 5 or more and 6 or more occurred in 40%, while 7 or more was 20% versus 0%. The highest totals are 8 and 6, while the lowest are 2 for both. Frankly, the home/away split changes the story: in Birmingham's last 4 home matches, their own average was 2.25, their opponents' was 1 and the total was 3.25; in Preston's last 4 away matches, the figures were 2, 1.75 and 3.75. At home, 3 or more totals occurred at 75%, 4 or more and 5 or more at 25%, and 6 or more at 0%; for Preston away, the first three thresholds were 50%, and 6 or more was 25%. For both, the figure for 7 or more was 0%; the highest totals were 5 and 6. At team level, 1 or more cards occurred in 100% of all samples. Birmingham’s overall percentages for 2/3/4 or more are generally 100%/40%/20%, and at home 100%/25%/0%; Preston’s are generally 60%/20%/20%, and away 75%/25%/0%.

For me, the key question is whether challenges become more forceful as the halves progress. Birmingham's usual first-half/second-half total averages are 1.6/3, and at home 0.75/2.5; Preston's are 1.6/2.2 overall and 1.5/2.25 away. Since the referee's name and recent matches were not provided, I cannot comment on his officiating style. Birmingham's overall/home yellow cards are 13/9, while Preston's overall/away figures are 10/8; the teams had 0 red cards across all these samples. Even so, the number of matches with a red card in Preston’s overall and away samples is 1; this should not be read as Preston having received a red card. Across a combined 10 matches, the expected total is 4.2, with Birmingham accounting for 2.2 and Preston 2; the first-half expectation is 1.6. A total of 4 or more cards occurred in 5 matches at 50%, while 5 or more and 6 or more occurred in 4 matches each at 40%; matches with a red card accounted for 10% across 1 matches. I think we should pay particular attention to delayed challenges in the second half; these are the signs from the last few matches, and the players' control in the duels will determine the match's character.

Yaşar Kenan Şeftalicioğlu provides his analysis

The touchlines and set-piece areas in the game between Birmingham City and Preston North End paint a notably different picture. Birmingham take 10 free kicks per match overall and Preston 8.8; split by home and away matches, these figures rise to 10.5 and 9.5, respectively. Birmingham's per-match total is 22.2, rising to 23.75 at home, while Preston's overall total is 18.8 and their away total is 23.25. The total number of free kicks in Birmingham matches reached 100% for 19 or more, while the team’s rate for producing 8 or more was 80%; for Preston, the same total threshold was 60%, and the team’s rate for 8 or more was 80%. For goal kicks, Preston's overall team average is 9.4 and Birmingham's is 7.4; away from home Preston rises to 10, while Birmingham remains at 9 at home. In terms of totals, the home team averages 14.6 and the visitors 17. 12 or more total goal kicks occurred in 100% of Birmingham matches, while the figure for Preston was 100%; for the teams individually, the 7 or more threshold was 60% for Birmingham and 100% for Preston. Birmingham are clearly ahead on throw-ins: their overall team average is 25 and their home average is 25; Preston's overall figure is 20.4 and their away figure is 20.5. The overall averages are 42.6 and 43.2, while away they are 41.75 versus 45.5.

Since the first-half, second-half and full-match breakdown has not been provided, it is not possible to determine numerically which part of the game sees the greatest increase in intensity. Even so, the combined expectations provide a solid idea of the match's overall character: 20.5 total free kicks, with 10 for Birmingham and 10.5 for Preston. The combined goal-kick expectation is 15.8, with a 7.5 to 8.3 split; Preston appear to push their opponents slightly farther back, while Birmingham absorb play more at home. The 42.9 expected total for throw-ins means 23.9 for Birmingham and 19 for Preston. Frankly, this figure suggests the game could move toward the flanks and individual duels rather than the center. Birmingham’s overall advantage in free kicks and throw-ins, combined with Preston’s away production of goal kicks, should send the ball into the wide areas frequently and create fierce battles for second balls around set pieces. These figures come from the last few matches; on the field, it will be important to watch the shape after throw-ins and how goal kicks begin.
