Birmingham City together with Peterborough United stand as the final two teams who will contest the EFL Trophy final that takes place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues team demonstrated post-promotion enthusiasm right after their Championship membership victory on Tuesday night before drawing their third-tier match.
Third-tier leaders Birmingham City affirmed their place in Championship football after the first promotion try when they defeated Peterborough 2-1 at Weston Homes Stadium in front of 4,000 traveling supporters.
Birmingham City obtained their 29th league win this season after Kwame Poku scored to equalize for Peterborough before Taylor Gardner-Hickman finished the match with a low shot.
The current 95 points give Chris Davies's team the ability to win the League One title by taking any of one win from their final six fixtures while four victories would establish a new season record in English football history with 107 points.
As Blues aim to duplicate the 1994-95 team's success by winning both the League One and EFL Trophy titles the club shifts its attention to Wembley where 50,000 Birmingham supporters are waiting to see captain Krystian Bielik lift the trophy.
Davies's EFL Trophy participation started with defeat against Walsall via penalty shootouts in September yet his team procured six consecutive wins leading to the 2-1 triumph against Bradford City in the semi-final at St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park.
Despite losing to Birmingham twice this season in League One, most recently on Tuesday night at Weston Homes, Peterborough is quietly optimistic that they can pull off a shock in London this weekend because the third-tier underdogs have a ton of attacking weapons.
Birmingham-affiliated Poku, who is arguably the division's best player for 2024–25, has dominated Posh's right flank this season, tallying 12 goals and dishing out eight assists in 24 games. The Ghanaian is naturally eager to make an impression at Wembley on Sunday.
