Burton Albion Birmingham City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match puts in field two formations that present very similar game styles, and in addition, failures in the most offensive sector. So this match tends to be very balanced and with few clear chances of goals, however, it will be clear that Birmingham dominate and take over the game in a few moments. Having said this and taking into account all this, we believe that betting for a scenario with few goals is of great value.

The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 17‑04‑2017, and ended in a (0‑2) win by Burton Albion.

In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Middlesbrough by (2‑0), after in the previous match they have lost (4‑1) an away match against Hull City.

Burton Albion kick-off for this game with a 2-0 loss to Middlesbrough, adding to their third defeat in this competition. In this game inside doors, it will be expected that coach Nigel Clough privilege the mid-low block and the counterattacks, thus exploiting the space in the back of the opponent's defense. Jackson Irvine is the highlight of the home team, being this very important player in the defensive balance of the team. For this match the coach cannot count on Akpan and Turner, punished, in addition to Boyce, injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Stephen Bywater, Kyle McFadzean, Tom Naylor, Luke Murphy, Jackson Irvine, Lloyd Dyer, Matthew Lund, Matt Palmer, Lucas Akins, Marvin Sordell.
