Burton Albion 0:1 Birmingham City — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Kanya Fujimoto was the standout performer as Birmingham City edged Burton Albion 1-0 in a Club Friendly, setting them up for a meeting with Crewe Alexandra next. This was a tight, cagey affair between two sides still finding their rhythm in pre-season, with little to separate them on the day.

The game’s only turning point arrived in the 28th minute when August Priske found the net for Birmingham City, his unassisted strike proving decisive. Neither side could force a breakthrough after that, with no cards or VAR interventions to disrupt a match that settled into a patient, probing rhythm.

On the numbers, both sides shared possession equally at 50% and each took just two corners, reflecting a contest that was genuinely balanced in territory and set-piece threat. Kanya Fujimoto earned the highest rating of 7.33 from midfield, anchoring the side without finding the scoresheet. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Birmingham City, and the result confirmed that prediction.
