Birmingham vs Blackburn: Top Free Betting Tips

After ending their campaign in FA Cup against Sheffield United, Blackburn Rovers return to EFL Championship and face Birmingham City on Saturday, 1 April. The Blues make an appearance in this game after getting three points against Queens Park Rangers.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

The Riversiders have secured a long scoring string in all competitions before this game, nevertheless, kept only one clean sheet in the last five duels. On the other hand, Birmingham City have been on the scoring side in three of the last five duels, allowing goals in three of them as well. The teams have also contributed BTTS patterns in three of the recent four H2H meetings. Given these numbers, we predict goals from both ends of the field in this game.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Four of the last five H2H meetings of these teams have ended with over 2.5 goals and we predict the same pattern to be repeated in this game. Birmingham City has averaged only one goal per game in the last five hosting attempts in the league. However, the Rovers look prepared in this respect, hitting the target ten times in the recent five away outings. The visiting side has also allowed goals in the latest consecutive visits.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-2 to Blackburn

Birmingham City has scored more than once in only one of the last five league outings while allowing six goals in that duration. However, the hosts leaked a total of 11 goals in the last five meetings against Blackburn, conceding at least twice in four of them. The Riversiders have also hit the target multiple times in each of the previous four games away from home. Blackburn has won four of the last five duels with the Blues and we predict another one with a scoreline of 1-2.

Birmingham have had a lot of problems with injuries this season but there is one man that has been here for almost every single game and that is Scott Hogan.
