West Brom vs Birmingham prediction – Betting tips & odds
Hot Tip – West Brom to win
- West Brom are in fifth right now with 13 wins on the board and a sensational defensive tally of 27 goals let in, which is only bettered by Leicester City and Leeds United
- The Baggies actually beat Leeds just over a month ago and followed this up with 4-1 wins over Aldershot Town and Blackburn Rovers
We have also decided to back West Brom because of Birmingham’s terrible season to this point. Although they have improved under Tony Mowbray, the club’s three wins in 15 games under Wayne Rooney still puts them in the bottom half of the table.
The Blues are down in 20th with just a seven-point gap on the 22nd-placed Queens Park Rangers and have let in 44 goals, scored 34 and lost 12 times.
