Birmingham vs Brentford Betting Tips

Both clubs won their final matches of 2015 rounding off a good year for both clubs. Birmingham picked up a 1-0 win at home to MK Dons thanks to an excellent solo strike from Jacques Maghoma. Meanwhile Sergi Canós scored an even better goal to give Brentford a 2-1 win at Reading and they are now level on points with Birmingham and only 1 point outside the top six.

It is just 2 defeats in 14 league games for Brentford now and they have won 8 of those matches putting their early season struggles firmly to bed. Only Derby and Fulham have netted more goals than them and they have scored 15 times in their last 8 matches.

By contrast Birmingham have netted just 4 times in their last 8, winning just twice although they have only lost 1 of their last 5. Both of those wins were scrappy 1-0 wins at home to Cardiff and MK Dons, two sides who don’t travel well and this will be much tougher against a more expansive Brentford outfit.

For that reason the value looks to be with slight underdogs Brentford at 2.025 when starting with a 0.0 Asian Handicap.

They have enough firepower to cause Birmingham problems and have scored twice or more in 5 of their last 6 matches. If they can repeat that here, they should win the game given the Blues haven’t scored more than once in a game for almost two months.

Therefore consider backing Brentford to Win 2-1 at 9/1.
