West Bromwich Albion - Birmingham City predictions

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, West Bromwich Albion will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Birmingham City.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against The Baggies on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

It’s hard to judge WBA’s form based on their most recent performance at Coventry City . Even though they suffered a narrow 3:2 loss, the opposing team was favoured with odds of 1.94 and home-field advantage.

The Blues are coming on the back of a 4:1 victory in their most recent Championship game. They were the hosts in that instance, though, and the matchup against Norwich City was largely favourable as well. In other words – they performed as well as could be expected, but the triumph itself was nothing extraordinary.

The Baggies are hoping for a big turnout for the match. With 5 lost away games in a row, they really need the extra confidence offered by a home-field advantage.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from Birmingham City in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.25 if you use the 888Sport sportsbook.
