Birmingham City vs Bristol City: Best Bets
Blues – 11/10
Draw – 9/4
Bristol City – 5/2
Birmingham have responded well since losing the Second City derby, notching back-to-back wins over Millwall and Preston North End. Garry Monk’s side will fancy their chances as they look to make it three wins on the spin this weekend.
11/10 for the Blues to claim another three points in front of an expectant St Andrew’s is a solid price. Birmingham haven’t lost on home soil since March 2018 and Monk’s men will take some stopping against an inconsistent Bristol City outfit.
Now ninth in the Championship table, a win here could see Birmingham move to within one point of the playoffs. Once again, the 5/4 on offer for over 1.5 home goals is worth snapping up.
The Blues have scored 14 goals in their last five Championship games at St Andrew’s and fans will be hoping for another convincing victory. Birmingham will be encouraged by their recent record against Bristol City; they’ve won three of the last four meetings.
If you’re looking for a goal scorer, look no further than Che Adams. At 9/5 to get his name on the scoresheet, Adams is available at a HUGE price with 888sport. The Blues star has five goals in his last three home games and Adams could flourish again this weekend.
Strike partner Lukas Jutkiewicz is Birmingham’s top scorer so far this campaign with 10 goals to his name and he will have one eye on the Championship Golden Boot. 888sport’s latest enhanced wincast is for Jutkiewicz and Blues to win at a very tasty 7/2.
Birmingham have the bit between their teeth right now and Bristol City may find this tough going. The visitors have won just two of their previous seven Championship away games and Monk’s side will head into this contest full of confidence after such an impressive run on home soil.
Prediction: Birmingham 2-0 Bristol City (9/1)
Bet of the day: Over 1.5 Blues goals (5/4)
Outside punt: Che Adams to score first (9/2)
Wincast: Lukas Jutkiewicz score and Birmingham win (7/2)
