Birmingham vs Leicester Preview & Prediction
The Blues have endured a difficult campaign this season, as Wayne Rooney adapts to life at St Andrews – but form has seen an improvement over recent weeks.
Birmingham ended a three-match streak without a win, as Rooney’s side picked up a 1-0 win away from home against Cardiff.
However, after picking up one win from the previous nine matches, Rooney’s side sit 17th in the table and just six points from the relegation places.
On the other hand, Leicester currently sit top of the table after a superb start to the season and are favourites to clinch the Championship title.
The Foxes are unbeaten in their last five matches and are coming off a 3-2 win over Millwall – with Jannik Vestergaard, Patson Daka and Ricardo Pereira scoring the goals.
Taking this into consideration, we expect Enzo Maresca’s side to have too much quality for Birmingham and pick up a 2-0 victory over the Blues.
Prediction: Birmingham 0-2 Leicester
Birmingham vs Leicester Betting Tips
- Stephy Mavididi To Score @ 11/8
- Over 3.5 Cards @ 2/5
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 5/2
Birmingham vs Leicester Betting Tip 1: Stephy Mavididi To Score @ 11/8
The Englishman has been pivotal in Leicester’s fine form this season and has scored two goals in his last two matches in the league.
Birmingham have conceded 29 goals this season as they continue to show defensive frailty and should gift plenty of chances to Leicester.
With this in mind, we expect the Leicester star to be on target once again against Birmingham and at 11/8, is a safe addition to your Championship bet builder.
Birmingham vs Leicester Betting Tip 2: Over 3.5 Cards @ 2/5
In Birmingham’s last three matches there have been nine yellow cards, averaging three cards per match – as referee’s become stricter.
Leicester have seen 12 yellow cards be given in their last three matches and the return of Conor Coady could boost this statistic – being booked in his last appearance for the Foxes.
Given the Midlands-based rivalry between the two clubs, we expect a host of bookings this evening and at 2/5 is a safe addition to this bet builder.
