Birmingham – 19/20
Draw – 43/20
Hull – 16/5
Birmingham City’s incredible unbeaten run is over but the Blues have the ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways when they host Hull City on Saturday afternoon. Birmingham are priced at 19/20 to claim three points at St Andrew’s in this clash.
Garry Monk’s men had won four league games in a row before last week’s defeat to Derby County and the home fans will be hoping for another victory. The Blues ran out 3-0 winners in this fixture last season – a good omen for fans backing Birmingham with 888sport.
27/25 for over 1.5 Birmingham goals is an excellent price. The hosts will want to put on a show for the ardent St Andrew’s crowd and Hull’s away record will give Garry Monk’s side confidence. The visitors have lost five of their last six on the road.
It will come as no surprise to see Lukas Jutkiewicz selected for 888sport’s special wincast. The Blues striker has been in superb form as of late and the 29-year-old could profit against an inconsistent Hull defence. 888sport customers can back Jutkiewicz to score in a Birmingham win at an enhanced 16/5 ahead of Saturday’s clash.
Monk’s men are heading in the right direction and another positive result looks likely here. 19/20 for a Blues triumph looks like the best bet.
Prediction: Blues 2-0 Hull 6/1
Bet of the day: Over 1.5 Birmingham goals 27/25
Outside punt: Birmingham to win both halves 27/5
Enhanced wincast: Lukas Jutkiewicz to score and Birmingham win 16/5
