West Bromwich Albion host Birmingham City in the Championship, and CheckLive leans narrowly to the home side at a model signal strength of 56 per cent — a medium signal, not a verdict. On that margin this is a close one, and a draw is every bit as live an outcome as a West Brom win or a Birmingham win. Points in this division are gathered in small handfuls, and a local meeting like this one tends to be settled by fine details.
