Watford - Birmingham City betting tips and odds

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

Birmingham City appear severely unprepared for a clash with The Hornets, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.10 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Apoint is never as interesting as a punter would want it to be but The Hornets will surely have been pleased with a Coventry City draw from the previous trip in the Championship. They return home for the Saturday clash feeling good about themselves after going level throughout both terms.

Birmingham City are clearly having issues when it comes to their form. Despite being somewhat favoured at odds of 2.46 at their latest home game, they spent most of it playing from behind. They salvaged the game with a 1:1 draw, but it wasn’t their best performance overall.

The last two times we saw Watford at Vicarage Road Stadium, both matches ended with less than 2 goals in total. Hopefully, we’ll see some more action this time around.

The recent history of this matchup reveals a good part of why the hosts are considered the favourites. A quick look at the stats shows a decisive victory over Birmingham City. The most recent clash between the two squads is from last season, though.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
