Betting on Birmingham
Birmingham has struggled to achieve positive results this season, currently sitting in 17th place in the standings, far from the top places but with a comfortable distance in terms of points from the bottom of the table.
They’ll be playing at home after suffering a 2-0 defeat against Coventry in the previous matchday, which was their second consecutive loss and third in the last four games. This is not surprising for a team that has struggled to find consistent form throughout the season.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Neil Etheridge; Maxime Colin, Kevin Long, Marc Roberts, Auston Trusty; Juninho Bacuna, Krystian Bielik; Jobe Bellingham, Jordan James, Reda Khadra; Lukas Jutkiewicz.
Betting on Sheffield United
Sheffield United had no luck in their pending matchday 44 game, as Huddersfield beat them by the narrowest of margins away from home. However, this loss does not tarnish the great work done by this team, which occupies the second place in the overall standings with 88 points.
Before that defeat, they had stringed together four wins in a row in the Championship, but away from home their luck has not been the same. What’s more, they were beaten in the FA Cup by Manchester City at a neutral venue. To make matters worse, in the league they register two consecutive defeats.
Despite this, the visiting team heads into this game with a boost of confidence considering that it has already beat Birmingham by a score of 2-1 in the first round of the Championship.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Wes Foderingham; Chris Basham, John Egan, Jack Robinson; George Baldock, Oliver Norwood, Sander Berge, Enda Stevens; Iliman Ndiaye, John Fleck; Daniel Jebbison.
JefeBet Prediction
There’s a 35-point difference between Sheffield and Birmingham, a gap that could easily reflect in the performance on the field. Despite their recent poor form, the visitors are the third-best team when playing away from home, having won 11 matches out of 22 so far.
Therefore, it’s expected that the second-best team in the Championship will bounce back to winning ways and secure the three points on this trip.
Prediction: Sheffield United Moneyline (BIR 0-2 SHU).
