Birmingham City - Cardiff City predictions

Birmingham City should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Cardiff City can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

The Bluebirds appear severely unprepared for a clash with Birmingham City, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.20 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

The hosts return home after an away defeat (Leicester City) which saw them defy the odds a bit. Online bookmakers expected them to get destroyed but The Blues held their ground in the first half and only went down with a minimal goal difference after the break.

The 1:3 result of The Bluebirds’s home match against Hull City was expected by most online sportsbooks. The Bluebirds were clear underdogs at the start of the game, and it quickly went south for them.

The previous two matched The Blues played as hosts ended without much excitement. Neither featured more than a single goal.

Cardiff City’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 6 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

The $ODDS odds on a home win are hard to trust with last season’s harsh defeat still fresh in our memories. The fact that Cardiff won that clash was a surprise in its own right – the goal difference was even less expected.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Wednesday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

A Home Win at the odds of 1.95 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
