Birmingham City - Bristol City predictions

Kickoff starts at 20:45 on 29/12/2023 played @ St. Andrew's Stadium refereed by Geoff Eltringham

Birmingham City may come out on top this Friday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Bristol City. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.70 for the hosts to win.

While team from Bristol may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 2.80 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

The last home match did not exactly go to plan for Birmingham City. They were indeed given unfavourable betting odds to win the game ($ODDS_HOME_LAST_ROUND) but no one expected them to suffer a defeat as heavy as Stoke City. They conceded early in the game and never quite got a chance to claw back.

The 1:4 away victory team from Bristol recorded in the previous round was utterly unexpected. Top online bookmakers priced them winning at 4.33, and most predictions thought that the decisive victory would go the other way around.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

With 8 goals in their previous 3 Championship matches, Bristol City boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Birmingham City are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 2.18 at 888Sport.
