Bristol City v Birmingham Betting Preview – Championship 7th May 12:00 pm

Tough finish for Birmingham here as they head to an in-form Bristol City side. A win secures survival for Birmingham and a point should just about do it as well. If they lose though and both Blackburn and Notts Forest win their games, that would be relegation trouble for the Blues. After a win over Huddersfield last weekend which boosted their survival hopes, can the Blues hang in there?

Bristol City v Birmingham Betting Tips

The Robins really have been going well lately to climb their way, with some ease, from the drop zone. Bristol City have suffered just two defeats in their last eleven league games now and they are in cracking form at Ashton Gate as well. They are on a four-match winning streak on home soil and are unbeaten in six at home. Currently home and away, they have gone W4 D1. Birmingham then, who are desperate for a win in this one, will have a tough game on their hands. Bristol City lost 1-0 at Brigham earlier in the season and they have failed to win any of their last four at home against the Blues as well (D3 L1). So the head to head form maybe not there, but the Robins are going well right now to suggest that they can get three points. Under 2.5 goals at bet365 is value at 11/10 as each of the last three between these two at Ashton Gate have gone under the goal line. The Robins have Tammy Abraham at 11/10 favourite in the anytime goalscorer market for the game.

The problem for Birmingham is that they have a far worse goal difference to that of both Nottingham Forest and Blackburn, who they are battling for survival with. So if they only draw and the other two win, Birmingham’s worse goal difference would see them drop. So they really need to try and secure the win but that’s not going to be easy at Ashton Gate. Birmingham did collect a good home win over Huddersfield last weekend to boost their survival hopes, but that is their only win in their last eleven games played now. Away from home, they have failed to win any of their last five (D3 L2) and they have managed just the four away wins all season in a W4 D9 L9 record away from home. Both teams to score at Bet365 is a price of 4/7. Birmingham’s win last weekend, saw them snap a ten match run with having failed to score more than one goal in a match. Will they survive?
