Leeds v Birmingham Betting Preview – Championship 12th September 7.45pm
What a fantastic start it has been to the Championship season for Leeds. An unbeaten record and a wealth of clean sheets and they are looking strong. They go as favourites to win Tuesday night’s clash against Birmingham. The Blues were backed heavily over the international break to earn promotion from the Championship and that was on the back of signing Jota from Brentford. No pressure on his shoulders then, as Birmingham are out of form and looking more like relegation candidates at the moment.

Leeds v Birmingham Betting Tips
Leeds have made a fantastic start to the season and they will expect to keep it going in midweek as well. They have produced a very good W4 D2 record for the term in the Championship, but that doesn’t tell the whole story of just how well they have been playing. They have not conceded a goal in any of their last five league games now and their scoring output has increased too with at least two goals in each of their last three games. They are currently on a three match winning streak, scoring seven unanswered goals and will be expected to take down the struggling Blues at Elland Road. Leeds to win to nil at William Hill fetches a fantastic price of 7/4 which looks bags of value considering the form that Leeds are in. Up in the anytime goalscorer market, Pierre-Michel Lasogga, who scored a brace on the weekend in a 5-0 drubbing of Burton is even money favourite to net. Leeds have not conceded at Elland Road this season, posting a W1 D2 league record there.
So will punters be expecting Birmingham to roll into town and take the victory? Probably not. In the William Hill correct score market there is a price of 11/2 on a Leeds 1-0 victory happening in this one. Birmingham are on a three match losing streak in the league and they have returned just the one goal in their last four things as well. Overall they have scored in just two of their six Championship matches this term. There is tremendous pressure on new signing Jota to pull them out of the mire that they are in. He is a 3/1 anytime goalscorer option for this one. Birmingham have only scored three goals in their six league games this season and therefore both teams not to score at William Hill is a price of 5/6. Away from home during the campaign, Birmingham have lost all three of their road games, scoring just the one goal. A Leeds to win by a 1 goal margin at William Hill is a pretty decent looking 5/2 price, considering that Birmingham’s three away defeats have only been by that margin.

Leeds v Birmingham Predictions
Leeds to win: The home side will be expected to keep a flailing Blues at arm’s length in this one. Birmingham are struggling for goals and we know all about the strengths of the Leeds defence at the moment. This should be a home win and one to nil as well.
