Birmingham vs Blackburn Betting Tips

Birmingham have had a slight dip in form losing their last two matches 2-0 against Hull and Wolves. They are still in the top six but compared to some of the other sides up near the top, they appear a little short on quality.
They are though a well organised side with a bright young manager and they won’t be too dejected just on the basis of a couple of defeats, especially given they’d won 4 in a row prior to that.

Blackburn picked up a much needed win on Thursday when they scored twice in the opening 6 minutes to secure a 2-0 win at Leeds. It was their first away from home since they won at Elland Road last season and has lifted Rovers away from the drop-zone and into 15th place.

This game has all the makings of a low scoring match. Only 1 of Birmingham’s last 10 fixtures has had more than 2 goals in it and they have failed to score in their last two matches. Blackburn likewise haven’t been involved in many high scoring games this term and there have only been 3 goals in their last 3 matches.

Therefore at 7/10 surely there is value in backing this game to finish with under 2.5 goals in it.

Birmingham will be determined not to lose this match which would make it 3 quick losses on the trot and could potentially derail their good start so they are likely to not be too gung-ho. Blackburn would probably take a point from the game, which would mean 4 points from 2 successive away games, not bad for a side that usually struggles away from home.

The result could be a bit of a stalemate and you can back it to finish 0-0 at 15/2.
