Birmingham vs Blackburn tips and predictions

Excitement expected in Championship

A high quality exhibition of the home side's crowd-friendly football should be impactful during this clash. The game is odds-on for at least a few goals so this could be a thriller. There's not a huge amount of confidence in the match winner market though.

It should be a good game.

Time will tell if it's relevant but Birmingham might have reasons to be confident about adding to Blackburn's latest reverses. The visitors look ill-prepared away from home; they've lost all of their last 5 assingment on the road. While they've obviously had different opposition, that doesn't stand out as the record of a winning team.

Is the home team in any form on their own soil? Birmingham scored two or more goals in 7 of their recent 11 home matches while doubling-down with their defensive stats. They've only conceded an average of 1.0 goals over their last 3 games at home.

Away from home Blackburn have conceded three or more times in all of their last 5 matches. If they are lacking their normal determination, it might not soley be in defence. The attacking form shown by the visitors isn't about to send their rivals into a frenzy of panic. They averaged just 0.8 goals in their last 4 away matches.

It's possible that this match will be determined by which team is the first to open their account. The sportsbooks are expecting goals at both ends of the park as they can both be dangerous in possession. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No is slightly more attractive. And in the total goals line, it's more than two goals standing out in this one given the latest prices.
