Birmingham vs Middlesbrough Predictions

Boro can secure the points

Middlesbrough are the best bet to beat Birmingham at St. Andrew’s on Saturday. The hosts are still without a home win this season after three home games, and although Middlesbrough have lost on just one of their last ten visits to Birmingham, they can get the win this time.

Middlesbrough are third in the league, four points ahead of tenth-placed Birmingham, with both teams having won more games than they’ve lost this season.

The hosts’ recent form at home has been disappointing, with Birmingham going three Championship games without a win.

They look vulnerable at the back. Birmingham have failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 of their last 20 Championship games and have yet to keep one at St. Andrew’s this season, after three home matches.

Middlesbrough have lost just one of their last ten Championship games, and they are in good form away from home.

Middlesbrough have been in form going forward, scoring in 11 consecutive games. They have netted two goals or more in four of their seven Championship matches this season.

Middlesbrough can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favour of the visitors looking like a decent bet. The last Championship meeting between these two had four goals, but six of the previous eight clashes had under 2.5 goals and Middlesbrough have won twice of their last three games by the odd goal.
