Birmingham City 2 have a chance to keep their climb going in the Midlands Regional League, while University of Nottingham 2 arrive still looking for their first points of the season.

The Story So Far

This Sunday 8 November 2026 (14:30) at King Edward VI Northfield School, Birmingham City 2 start the weekend 5th with 4 points from 4 games (GD -6), sitting 2 points off the promotion place and 2 points clear of the bottom two. University of Nottingham 2 are 9th on 0 points from 3 games (GD -16), and they come in 2 points from safety.

Birmingham’s recent sequence of LWLW shows a side alternating results but still producing goals (72 scored, 78 conceded across those four), and their only listed home outing this season ended in a win. Nottingham 2’s LLL start has been tougher (32 scored, 48 conceded), with defeats both home and away, but they have played fewer games than several teams in the division, so there is still scope to change their position quickly with results.

What's At Stake

• If Birmingham City 2 win: they would move to 6 points, matching the current points total of the leaders while keeping contact with the promotion place, and it would extend their upward movement after spending two weeks at the top earlier this season.
• If University of Nottingham 2 win: they would open their points account and close the gap to safety, shifting the pressure back onto the teams directly above them in the bottom two picture.
• If it’s a draw: Birmingham would edge to 5 points and remain clear of the relegation places, while Nottingham 2 would take their first point but could still be within touching distance of safety at 1 point back.
