Betting on Birmingham City
Everything seems to indicate that the waters have calmed down at Birmingham City. With no chance of fighting for promotion to the Premier League, the Blues are now focusing on achieving its final task, which is to put up the best performance possible in the remaining matchdays of the Championship.
With not much pressure on them, the men led by John Eustace have been delivering good results, as they managed to secure a 1-0 victory away from home against the always tough Millwall in the last matchday.
This recent success has propelled the Brummie squad to 15th place in the Championship standings with 53 points. Far from the Playoffs zone, the team will now aim to keep the good moment going to lay a solid foundation for next season.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): John Ruddy; Maxime Colin, Marc Roberts, Kevin Roberts, Kevin Long, George Friend; Krystian Bielik, Juninho Bacuna; Jobe Bellingham, Reda Khadra, Tahith Chong; Lukas Jutkiewicz.
Betting on Blackpool
Meanwhile, Blackpool is going through a time of extreme tension. The team is currently in second to last place in the Championship standings with 38 points and very close to sealing relegation to League One, England’s third division.
In their last game, the Mariners suffered a loss when it was thought that they would get back to their winning ways. The team got defeated at home by West Bromwich Albion with a 2-0 score.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Daniel Grimshaw; Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel, Curtis Nelson, Jordan Thorniley, Andy Lyons; Charlie Patino, Lewis Fiorini; Morgan Rogers, Keshi Anderson, CJ Hamilton; Jerry Yates.
JefeBet Prediction
The Birmingham City team is the clear favorite to win this upcoming match, both in the standings and numerically.
The Blues have a better goal difference (-7) than their rival (-25). However, it was not long ago that the visiting team managed to pull off a victory after many matchdays, so we should not rule out the possibility of it delivering a surprising performance at St Andrew’s. Nevertheless, at JefeBet, we predict a home win.
Prediction: Birmingham City Moneyline (BIR 1-0 BLA).
