Birmingham FC v Fulham FC tips

We should expect a cagey encounter at St Andrews

While Blues manager Alex McLeish might have recently dispensed with the unpopular 4-5-1 formation, the primary aim when his team take to the pitch is not to concede. This explains why a total of eight goals have been scored in their six matches at St Andrews this season, which might prompt punters to back Under 2.5 Goals (4/6 Expekt) this Saturday. It might even be worth a nibble on the 2/1 (bet365) about one goal or less being scored, with Birmingham’s current ratio of a point per game being enough to keep their heads above water in the Premier League. That said, City are unbeaten in three matches (which includes games against Man City and Liverpool) and the Midlands side are 6/4 (Paddy Power) to take all three points.

Fulham are five games unbeaten in the league and are showing a steelier edge away from home these days. They are 2/1 (Sky Bet) to win the match and can also be taken at 11/10 (Stan James) if you think they’ll avoid defeat in the Midlands. The Cottagers are likely to be boosted by the return of Danny Murphy (14/1 Sporting Bet) and Andy Johnson (7/1 Sky Bet) to the side, although they have managed well without the experienced duo. Considering both teams are in decent form, the 9/4 (bet365) about a draw could be the best value, with No Goalscorer being quoted at 17/2 (Victor Chandler).
