Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Cyle Larin to score11/5 with LadbrokesNo player in the Championship has scored more goals this season than Cyle Larin, who along with Will Lankshear, has bagged four. The Canadian is averaging a massive 4.7 shots per game so far this term and looks too big a price to find the net against Blues, in what could be a high-scoring contest.
Birmingham City or draw (Double Chance)8/13Birmingham and Southampton have both made strong starts and look well matched heading into this clash. Blues have already shown their defensive strength, while Southampton have plenty of firepower going forward.
Birmingham’s home advantage should keep them competitive, but Southampton have enough quality to avoid defeat. With little to separate the sides, the draw at 12/5 looks the best play.

How Birmingham go into the game

Birmingham won 2-1 at Wrexham at the weekend, a professional away display. St Andrew’s should be lively for a big clash.

Heavily backed for promotion, Birmingham have the quality to challenge for the top two. Home form is central to that.

How Southampton go into the game

Southampton hammered Millwall 5-1 at the weekend, a devastating attacking display. Confidence will be sky-high.

Also tipped for a quick return, Southampton look ominous going forward. Backing that up at St Andrew’s is the test.
