Birmingham City - Barnsley betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked Birmingham City as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Barnsley winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

With a matchup like this, it seems like we already know the outcome. Barnsley stand little chance of achieving anything except an appearance. Most bookies price an away win for this match at 5.00, marking an insurmountable difference.

Birmingham City’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Fulham as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 6:2 loss for Birmingham.

Barnsley are coming on the back of a predictable 2:1 loss in their previous away game at Blackburn Rovers. They spent the first half toe-to-toe with their opponents, though, which was quite a feat given how hard the matchup was for them.

With 9 concessions over the last 3 matches, The Blues will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

The Blues may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat The Tykes this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.16, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
