Burnley vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions
Burnley returns to league action after the League Cup elimination at the hands of Manchester United and they will be playing host to Birmingham City in the Championship. This clash finds Burnley top of the league standings with 47 points while Birmingham City are ninth on 32 points. The loss to United was Burnley’s second in a run of 23 matches. This being the last match of this round in the Championship, Burnley will want to bag three points as second placed Sheffield United, who play earlier are just three points back. Burnley have eight wins in their last 10 matches; apart from the loss to United, their only other defeat was to Sheffield United. The only time they failed to score in the last five games was in the 2-0 loss to Manchester United, in the remaining four games they scored three each. However, they aren’t at their best defensively; both teams have scored in six of their last 10 matches and they have two clean sheets only in the last five. An unbeaten home run all season, with nine wins in the 13 matches will however be a great motivator for them, going into this game.
Birmingham City are coming from a 3-2 win over Reading in the Championship and will want to keep going against the league leaders. That was their second win in five matches and they’ve only suffered one loss in that run. However, they have one clean sheet only in their last five matches and both teams have scored in four of the five games. They’ve failed to score once in their last five matches but conceded two goals three times in that run. Away from home, they have two clean sheets in five Championship games and they will really want to do better here as they haven’t really prevailed in this fixture in recent meetings. In their last five matches against Burnley, they have no win, though three of them have produced draws and Birmingham lost two. Clean sheets are rare in this fixture as well – there has been only one in the last 13. Both sides have scored in 12 of the last 13 meetings.

Our Burnley vs Birmingham Prediction
Burnley are clear favorites going into this game and playing at home gives them the extra edge. They have also not lost to Birmingham in their most recent meetings but they will have to tighten at the back, seeing that they haven’t kept a lot of clean sheets in recent matches. Birmingham have also not kept a lot of clean sheets but have been scoring somewhat regularly. With these stats, our prediction for the Burnley v Birmingham City game will be for Burnley to win but both teams scoring.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
