Derby County - Birmingham City betting tips and odds

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

Birmingham City are heading into a difficult fight, but it’s far from hopeless. They may need to bring their best, but the match can go any way at this point. The odds of an away win are 3.40 right now, which means the favourites are far from clear.

The previous round brought a narrow defeat for Derby County. Betting predictions foresaw an uphill battle considering the home-field disadvantage and incredibly difficult matchup against Nottingham Forest . The first half went as well as can be expected, but Nottingham Forest pulled ahead as the game progressed and registed a narrow 2:1 victory.

The Blues’s previous match against Peterborough United was frustrating to watch. They spent most of the match trying to catch up to a relatively weaker opponent, only managing to do so in the second half and securing a middling 2:2 draw at a home game.

We’ve seen some excellent defensive play from The Rams lately – they haven’t conceded a single goal for more than three home games which makes To Win to Nil a fairly reasonable option in this match.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Championship outings.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to The Blues once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

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 2.25, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
