Leeds United - Birmingham City predictions

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Leeds United winning is by far the most likely outcome.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Leeds and the 15.00 odds given to Birmingham City to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

Leeds losing their previous Championship appearance went against most betting odds and predictions – though they weren’t exactly hard favourites, either. Still, they were given a good shot to score an away win, but instead ended up losing 1:0 after spending almost the entire match playing from behind.

Birmingham’s home performance against Bristol City in the previous round wasn’t spectacular, ending in a 0:0 stalemate. Neither side managed to pull ahead, but Birmingham can be happier with this outcome considering the balance of power wasn’t in their favour.

The home-pitch advantage appears to be quite important for The Peacocks. Their last 3 fixtures at home were crowned by more than 5 goals in total.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Birmingham’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Championship season. Birmingham won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Monday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

An Under 3.5 Goals bet is an interesting choice for this match. It’s quite safe as you might expect, but the 1 odds offer more in the way of betting value than you would think.
