Brighton vs Birmingham Betting Tips

It is an incredible run that Brighton are on and Chris Hughton and his squad deserve an enormous amount of credit for their consistency and ability to grind out results in tough matches such as their 1-1 draw at Burnley last weekend.

However 4 of their last 5 matches have ended in draws and no side in the division has drawn more than them. They are yet to win a game by more than 1 goal this season and one argument is that they won’t be able to maintain their current position in the top two unless they start taking a few more risks in an attempt to win more games.

However perhaps a more realistic point of view is that the Seagulls don’t possess as much quality as their promotion rivals and should just continue with what they are doing, which at the very least should leave them well placed for a top 6 finish which would be outstanding given how poor they were last term.

This won’t be an easy game for Brighton against a Birmingham side that loves playing away from home. The Blues have only lost 1 of their last 10 Championship away games and have won 4 of their last 5. 17 of their 28 points this term have come on the road and they won’t fear this game given they scored 5 times in their last away match at Fulham.

Therefore at 11/10 Birmingham look really good value to avoid defeat on the road again in this one.

However with Brighton unbeaten and at home, it is hard to see the Blues adding to their impressive tally of away wins here. Brighton have been involved in four 1-1 draws already this season and this could well be another one and you can back that to be the case at 6/1.
