Middlesbrough - Birmingham City predictions

Middlesbrough are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Birmingham City. The odds of 2.27 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against The Boro on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The Boro head into the Saturday fixture with their head held high following a Leicester City away draw. They were not expected to come out with anything from their previous Championship game so this point will be a big morale booster for them.

With 4.89 odds to win and home-field advantage, Birmingham City were clearly likely to win their previous Championship match before kick-off. The game went about as expected – they took an early lead and kept at it until they eventually won 4:0.

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

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

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.35 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as Pncl.
