Brentford vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Nella Wagah | in Championship Predictions
Birmingham are coming from a 1-0 win over promotion contenders Swansea City and will be away against another top contender, Brentford as the Championship goes into round 40. Brentford are third in the standings with 69 points, while Birmingham are 20th in the standings with 41 points. It hasn’t been easy for Brentford in their recent matches, coming from three straight draws and dropping nine points below the automatic promotion spot. The highest scoring side in the league has managed just one win in the last five matches and it has been tough for top scorer Ivan Toney, whose last three goals, in the last four matches have been from penalties. They definitely need to improve defensively, having managed just two clean sheets in the last 15 Championship matches. Brentford are coming from a 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town, a game they were forced to come from down. In the earlier two matches, they dropped points from winning positions and will be hoping to do better when they return home, where they’ve lost just once and won nine times in the last 16 Championship matches. They are unbeaten in the last three home matches in the league, with one clean sheet in five, though they’ve scored twice in three of the five. Going to this game, left back Rico Henry and midfielder Shandon Baptiste are ruled out with injury while Danish right back Henrik Dalsgaard is a doubt.
Birmingham are in a dangerous situation and as matches proceed, they realize they can’t afford to drop a lot of points in their race for survival. At the moment, they are above the relegation zone by six points but 22nd placed Rotherham United have played four matches lesser and Birmingham will be playing away to them later in April. One key area Birmingham need to address is their defence. The team has conceded 50 goals in the 39 matches played so far. While they’ve struggled defensively, they’ve also not been sharp in attack in recent matches. The team has failed to score in three of the last five league matches; in the five games, they’ve conceded eight goals and scored just three. Lee Bowyer’s side has four wins and eight losses in the last 15 Championship matches, with three clean sheets therein. Away from home in the league, they have no win in the last three and have failed to score in the last two. The team has four losses in the last six away Championship matches.

Our Brentford vs Birmingham Prediction
The best scoring side in the Championship, Brentford, meets one of the poorest defensive sides in the league. Birmingham have underperformed defensively and face a tough side that really needs three points. Birmingham are also in need of the three points to help in the push for survival so we should expect an end to end clash. In Brentford’s form though, we expect them to win, so go for a 2-1 correct score win for the home team.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
