Birmingham City - Rotherham United predictions

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 02/12/2023 played @ St. Andrew's Stadium refereed by Andy Davies

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.60 bring great value considering the fact that Birmingham City are indeed firm favourites to defeat Rotherham United.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Rotherham United will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

The Blues managed to hold the line against Blackburn Rovers throughout the first half of their previous away game. They didn’t have nearly as much luck in the second, however, and their defence crumbled against the superior opposition, which all resulted in a 4:2 defeat.

Few were surprised by the away team’s 4:1 loss in the previous round, harsh as that may sound. They were up against impossibly long odds at 7.77 and were also the away team. For now, they should probably look ahead to more even matchups.

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.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Championship engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The 1.60 betting odds for a home win paint the hosts as the favourites in this matchup, and the head-to-head stats agree. For example, the two teams clashed last season, and Birmingham City won with a considerable goal advantage.

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

Our tip is to risk an Over 3.5 Goals wager. The 1 are worth giving up the relative safety of a simpler Over 2.5. That said, it’s still a relatively riskier bet than what some punters might prefer.

Betting tip (stake: 6/10): Over 3,5 goals 2.45 at 10Bet
Correct score prediction: 2:3
