Burton v Birmingham Betting Preview – Championship 18th August 7.45pm
So is is really a big home game for Burton who have so far lost all three of their opening games for the new season. Not a great start at all from them but this is pretty interesting because they won both games against the Blues last season. Birmingham have recovered from an opening defeat to put four points on the board in their last two games. Will they suffer at the hands of Burton again though or take advantage of their opponent’s weakness?

Burton v Birmingham Betting Tips
Burton are winless so far in this season’s Championship with three straight defeats under their belt. There has been just the one goal scored from them as well while they have shipped seven. So big issues there and their struggles from last season, where they only just avoided relegation, look set to continue. In their only home game so far this season they lost 1-0 against Cardiff, which, if anything, suggests that they are going to be a little defensively stronger on home soil. A Birmingham 1-0 correct score at bet365 is a price of 13/2. The games between them in last season’s Championship were the first competitive games played between Burton and Birmingham and it was Burton who won both of them by a 2-0 scoreline. If you fancy a repeat of that, a Burton 2-0 correct score is a big 12/1 price. More likely than not this will be allowed scoring affair and both teams not to score at bet365 fetches a price of 10/11.
Birmingham lost their first game of the new season out on the road against Ipswich and then responded with four points from two games at St Andrew’s. So they head back out on the road and will be a little nervy over what happened last season against Burton, coupled with the defeat at Ipswich this season. You would have to be looking under 2.5 goals for a price of 8/13 at bet365 because of all that. Birmingham after all did fail to score in both games against Burton last season and Albion were just bad defensively then as they appear to be now. Last season Birmingham had their struggles as well and finished in 19th place, just one point and one place above Burton. Birmingham only managed the five away victories all season as well last term and have now won just one of their last seven games out on the road in the second tier.

Burton to win: While the draw is the most likely outcome here, it may be a decent time to have a flutter on Burton to snap their losing streak by getting a win on the board. They handled the Blues well enough last season.
