Sunderland vs Birmingham: Top Free Betting Tips

Sunderland will be determined to continue their winning form in the next league fixture against Birmingham City on Saturday, 15 April. The Blues enter the Stadium of Light after dropping two points against Stoke City at St. Andrew’s.

Total Goal Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Three of the last five meetings between these two clubs at Stadium of Light have ended with Under 2.5 Goals. Sunderland has managed to collect seven goals in the last five league affairs. However, Birmingham City has rattled the net only three times in the same duration. Both the Black Cats and Blues have also claimed clean sheets in the previous league fixtures against Cardiff and Stoke respectively. Hence, we believe to see this game finishing with a total of Under 2.5 Goals.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: No

Sunderland claimed two clean sheets in the last three league games, one of them league leaders Burnley. Birmingham has also displayed the same defence at the back. However, the Black Cats have not failed to score in any of the previous five games at Stadium of Light. On the other hand, the Blues have been without a goal in two of the same number of home and away league outings previously. Considering the current scenario, we predict Sunderland to be the only side to score in this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Sunderland

Before a 4-4 home draw against Hull City, Sunderland scored one goal per game in the prior four consecutive games at the Stadium of Light. On the other hand, Birmingham City has also conceded only one goal in three of the previous five games away from St. Andrew’s. The Black Cats have also scored only once per game in two of the last three H2H encounters with Birmingham City. Therefore, we predict Sunderland to get a narrow lead of 1-0 before the referee blows his final whistle.

Sunderland Preview

The Black Cats finally managed to snap their four-match winless streak in the last game with a victory over Cardiff City. Dennis Cirkin found the target in the 60th minute to help Sunderland secure three points with a 0-1 lead, notching his third goal this season. Sunderland’s readiness will take a hit with Cory Evans and three other players missing the game due to injuries.

Birmingham Preview

The Blues witnessed a second consecutive league draw in the previous fixture against Stoke City without a goal. Losing points in successive games, Birmingham City slipped to seventeenth place on the table, seeing Hull City climbing to the sixteenth.
