Birmingham City - West Bromwich Albion betting tips and odds

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Birmingham City on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

The Blues are coming on the back of a 3:0 victory and a confirmed HT/FT market, which bodes well for their current form. Although the pre-match betting odds knew they were more likely to win thanks to the home-field advantage, the large goal difference was above and beyond expectations.

Championship betting odds favoured West Bromwich Albion to win their previous match, with a price of 6.25 offered at most sportsbooks. Such odds turned out to be a decent prediction – playing as the home team, The Baggies secured an early lead and stayed ahead for the remained of the game, ultimately recording a 1:0 victory.

Birmingham City have displayed rather inconsistent defensive play in their previous outings. Specifically, their previous 3 away games have been marked by more than 5 conceded goals. They may be at home this time, but such records usually highlight deeper issues than a home-field disadvantage.

While some teams tend to struggle as visitors, The Baggies seem to thrive. A quick look at their recent records shows more than 5 total goals in the last 3 away games, indicating rather prolific strikers and a solid goal-scoring form.

Last season, the hosts met WBA and walked away with a remarkable, convincing victory. They’re still considered strong favourites because of this, though it’s worth keeping in mind that some time has passed since then.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.25 with 10Bet, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
