Birmingham to Win

Reason for tip

Birmingham look the best bet at home to Blackburn. They sit well above the visitors in the table and should be confident of scoring, having posted strong numbers at home against bottom-six sides. Blackburn are struggling away, losing five of their last seven road games, and they are not offering much going forward. With Blackburn also leaking goals and rarely keeping clean sheets, Birmingham have a solid chance to get the win.

Birmingham 2-1

Reason for tip

Birmingham 2-1 is the correct-score pick. This fixture often brings goals at both ends, with BTTS landing in four of the last six meetings. Birmingham tend to win by fine margins, with nine of their 14 league victories coming by one goal, which suits a narrow scoreline. Blackburn’s defence is unreliable, failing to keep clean sheets in seven of their last nine and on a long away run without a shutout, but they can still nick one, so 2-1 fits.

Blues can edge past Blackburn

Birmingham are the bet at home to Blackburn in the Championship on Friday. The visitors have not been great going forward this season, and that makes them look a poor bet to get a result here.

Birmingham are eight places above Blackburn in the table, with a ten-point gap between the two sides. The hosts are 11th having won 14, drawn 11 and lost 14, while Blackburn are 19th with 11 wins, ten draws and 18 defeats.

The visitors’ recent away record has been poor, with five defeats in Blackburn’s last seven Championship games on the road. They have failed to win five of their last six matches in all competitions.

Birmingham will be optimistic of finding the net, having scored an average of 1.80 goals a game in their five Championship home games against teams in the bottom six this season.

The visitors’ defence has been far from watertight. Blackburn have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last nine Championship games, and are now on a run of seven away days without recording a shutout.

Birmingham may be able to edge out Blackburn in a closely-fought encounter, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Four of the last six Championship meetings between these sides have seen both teams find the net, and nine of Birmingham’s 14 wins this season were by a single goal.
