Birmingham vs Peterborough Stats

• Birmingham have won 39/53 games across all competitions this season
• Peterborough have conceded the most penalties in League 1 in 2024/25 (seven)

Peterborough also made six changes in the week with Nicholas Bilokapic, Carl Johnston, Emmanuel Fernandez, Sam Hughes, Harley Mills and Mo Susoho coming into the side for Jed Steer, Jamie Dornelly, Oscar Wallin, Jadel Katongo, Tayo Edun and Hector Kyprianou respectively.

Edun and Hughes are unavailable for selection because they are cup-tied, having represented Charlton Athletic and Stockport County respectively earlier in the competition.

Surprisingly, Darren Ferguson stuck with his front four of Abraham Odoh, Malik Mothersille, Kwame Poku and Ricky-Jade Jones. This quartet should line up at Wembley to face the Blues again, and Poku caused the Birmingham defence some problems on Tuesday.

Boro's director of football Fry has said that Birmingham are still chasing one of his players after missing out on a couple in the summer (Ronnie Edwards and Harrison Burrows). It is heavily believed that Poku is the man they're after, but Fry has said that his former club will have to "cough up."

Birmingham vs Peterborough Odds

Birmingham have won 39 games across all competitions this season, setting a club record in the process. They have won four games on the spin coming into this, which included a victory over their opponents earlier in the week. They also beat Posh at St Andrew's back in September. Blues are 4/9 to win in 90 minutes here.

Combining this market with both teams to score is a more attractive price at 2/1 (which has an implied probability of 33.3%) because both meetings between the two teams this campaign produced goals at both ends.

If you think this final will go to extra time, the draw can be backed at 3/1. Peterborough are 5/1 to prevail in regulation time and they have won three of their last five fixtures coming into this contest.

Birmingham striker Alfie May has five goals in as many appearances coming into Sunday and he is the joint-favourite to score anytime at 21/20.

Birmingham and both teams to score @ 2/1

What a week it has been for Birmingham so far. They've sealed their return to the Championship at the first time of asking with six games to spare. Of course with the money spent it was expected, but they still had to go out and do it as it doesn't automatically buy success.

Chris Davies came into the club unexperienced as a manager and was tasked with transforming both the football and the mentality at Birmingham. He has exceeded in both and he probably won't get enough credit for the job he has done this year.

In his post-match huddle on Tuesday he told his players: "You've changed this club around. You've brought this club back to life." After 13 years of despair, he's not wrong.

The celebratory scenes were a sight to behold must now focus on another big game and produce more memories from this incredible campaign.

As a fan, this has been the most enjoyable campaign  in a very long time and it feels like the start of an incredible journey under the ownership of Knighthead Capital. Around 50,000 Bluenoses will be in attendance on Sunday, and this is sure to spark an extra gear from the players out on the pitch.

Birmingham come into this game with confidence and the psychological advantage of beating their opponents just days ago. The Blues have had plenty of clean sheets this term but I think their defence will be breached on Sunday, as Posh have scored against them in the two times they've played in the league.
