Birmingham vs Wolves is a Second City derby at St Andrew’s on Sunday, with the visitors marginally fancied despite a midweek defeat.
Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this Championship clash below.
Premium Tips
Andy narrowly favours Wolves, though goals are likely in a derby.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Wolves to win and both teams to score | 21/5 | Wolves have been rampant going forward, scoring 11 goals in their opening four games, comfortably the standout attack across these two sides, and that firepower makes them favourites even away from home. Both teams to score is well backed too: Wolves have leaked eight in four, so a Birmingham side with five goals and a tidy home base should find the net, while Wolves will fancy their chances given their output. |
| Raul Jimenez and August Priske to score anytime | 11/1 | Jimenez is the stronger leg: Wolves’ focal striker with two goals in four games and high shot volume, 12 attempts, spearheading that rampant attack against a Birmingham defence that will be tested. Priske adds the home-side scorer angle with three goals in the sample. |
