Albion’s Second Tier Season Comparison – 30 games

Defeat for the Baggies at St Andrew’s means that Birmingham City completed their first league double over Albion this century. The last time Blues won both league games against the Baggies in a season was in the 1998/99 season when Albion were managed by Denis Smith and Blues by Trevor Francis. City won 3-1 at the Hawthorns in November 1998 thanks to a brace from Peter Ndlovu and another from Dele Adebola, and then 4-0 at St Andrew’s the following March when it was Adebola’s turn to score twice with Ndlovu on the scoresheet again and Martin Grainger scoring the fourth. Blues reached the play-offs that season losing the semi-final to Watford on penalties.

Albion finished 12th that season and had two more points at this stage of the season that Corberán’s team do, but their form was about to collapse as they lost nine of their remaining sixteen games including five on the bounce starting with that 4-0 defeat at St Andrew’s.
