Baggies to beat Blues in local derby

Championship Betting

Birmingham v West Brom Betting Tips – Championship, 15th September 7.45pm

The Blues really need a boost after a poor start to the season and collecting three points in this Midlands derby would be a great way to get it. They are looking for their first league win of the season as well after difficult times. West Brom will be looking for points to keep themselves up inside the top ten at the end of the weekend. Read our predictions for Birmingham v West Brom.

Birmingham News and Form

It has not been form to write home about from Birmingham so far. They will go into their local derby on the weekend looking for their first league win of the season. It has been a draw in each of their three home fixtures this term in the Championship. Because of that trend alone then the draw in the match outright appalls a lot in our Birmingham v West Brom predictions at 9/4 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 12th, 2018 at 1:14 p.m.). Birmingham have played out back to back 0-0 draws at St Andrews against Swansea and then QPR. Once again Birmingham are struggling badly in front of goal.

Birmingham have been having their troubles sticking the ball in the back of the net and have failed to score in four of their last five league games and so under 2.5 goals at 4/6 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 12th, 2018 at 1:14 p.m.) looks a decent proposition. Another trend with Birmingham is that they have been level at half time and full time in each of their three home games this term. They have problems on and off the pitch. A good derby win would raise their spirits.

West Brom News and Form

West Brom had their character tested as they suffered a loss out at Middlesbrough just back at the end of August. They snapped back immediately though in a tough game, getting a home win over Stoke. So that leaves the Baggies with a W3 L1 record in their last four league games. They have actually been well among the goals with thirteen netted in their last four. We don’t see a goal-fest happening in this local derby though. Because the Baggies are going up against a low-scoring Birmingham side we can consider the both teams not to score option at 5/6 odds * (Betting Odds were taken from September 12th, 2018 at 1:14 p.m.).

Two-thirds of their away games in the Championship this term have ended under 2.5 goals. West Brom have netted at least two goals in each of their last three games against Birmingham in all competitions and if you push that over to the correct score market a West Brom 2-0 option is at 9/1 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 12th, 2018 at 1:14 p.m.). They have a full-strength squad from which to make their selections but they are unlikely to be changed much from their win over Stoke last time out.

Birmingham v West Brom Head to Head

West Brom are well up in the most recent head to head against Birmingham, having won three of the last six against them (D2 L1). So that’s good form from them and they have won their last three clashes against them by a 3-1 scoreline. West Brom have picked up two wins and a draw in their last three trips to St Andrews as well. Both teams have scored in all but one of the last six meetings.

Birmingham v West Brom Predictions

West Brom to win: Even though West Brom’s form away from home hasn’t been great, they should have enough to beat a pretty average Birmingham side. We don’t see a big win coming though and West Brom to win by a one-goal margin is our betting tip for the fixture.
