Blackpool - Birmingham City betting tips and odds

Beating Birmingham City will not be easy, but we believe Blackpool are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Birmingham will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 2.63 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

No one expected Blackpool to win the previous round at Wigan Athletic – they were the visiting team in a highly disfavourable matchup. Even though they somehow managed to end the first half with a lead, their opponents went home with 3 points after a narrow 2:1 win.

The away team’s previous Championship outing was a close call from the get-go: betting odds saw the two teams as equally-matched, though Birmingham City did have the support of their home fans. However, they quickly fell behind in the first half and failed to catch up until the bitter end, ultimately recording a 1:2 loss.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Looking back at the head-to-head stats for this matchup, Blackpool are more than able to beat the odds and come out on top. They did so last season, even securing a considerable goal lead. Birmingham City are still the favourites, though, and the betting odds are firmly in their favour.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.10 if you use the bet365 sportsbook.
