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.
