Wolves V Birmingham Predictions & Betting Odds

Wolves v Birmingham Betting Preview – Championship 15th April 12.00pm

Wolves are almost there. Two points is all they need to secure promotion to the top flight, while they need four to secure the league title. If second-placed Fulham doesn’t get three points against Brentford on Saturday, the Wolves will secure promotion without even needing anything from this. If they go out and collect a win in this Midlands derby it would also put immense pressure on their rivals Birmingham who are still trying to fight off the threat of relegation.

Wolves News and Form

So Wolves are almost across the finish line now after a fantastic season under their belt. They secured a 2-0 home win over play-off hopefuls Derby on Tuesday leaving them needing only two points to secure promoting. They need four to win the Championship title. They get a chance to edge towards both at home against rivals Birmingham on Sunday. Wolves have produced a W15 D4 L2 record this season on home soil in the second tier and overall are unbeaten in their last six home and away, winning five of those. They have netted at least two goals in each of their last eight league wins. In the bet365 correct score market a Wolves 2-0 option is at 5/1 odds* (betting odds taken on April 12th, 2018 at 6:43 p.m.). Diogo Jota and Ruben Neves have both come up with two goals in Wolves’ last three games so are in a bit of form and worth considering in the anytime goalscorer market. Wolves have won 43% of their home fixtures this season with a clean sheet. They have averaged over a goal per game and are on seven-match scoring streak of at least two goals at Molineux. This should turn out to be a big occasion for them. They are bang in form and are taking on a side who are struggling to keep themselves out of the drop zone. It could be a party at Molineux on the weekend.

Birmingham News and Form

The revival of the Blues hit a brick wall in midweek when they went to play-off challengers Bristol City and suffered a big default. That snapped their unbeaten four-match streak (W3 D1) which has given them good hope of staying up. They will be heading into the weekend three points above the relegation zone and certainly, things are looking much better, looking ahead though they have a really tough run-in, including this one. But if they come away from this empty handed the pressure could be seriously back on them. Birmingham have only won three times away from home as it is this season and their recent triumph at Bolton, who are one place beneath them in the table, snapped a four-match losing streak of away from that they were on. Two of those losses were against Aston Villa and Cardiff, current top four sides like Wolves are. Birmingham have managed only the 16 away goals this season in the Championship but they have conceded an average of 1.8 goals per game on their travels. They are on a four-match scoring streak away from home but they may struggle against Wolves and under 2.5 goals is at 19/20 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 4:21 p.m. on April 11th, 2018). Their survival hangs in the balance still as they still have to face two more playoff contenders in their final three games of the season after this.

Three of the last four meetings at Molineux have ended under 1.5 goals with two 0-0 draws played out in that sequence.
