Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson backs a narrow home win.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
August Priske to score anytime7/5 (bet365)August Priske is Birmingham’s joint top scorer in the league with two goals, and he faces a Preston side rooted to the bottom, beaten in three of their last four and with 16 goals conceded. Blues have drawn all four home games but keep creating chances, and against the division’s bottom side a first home win could finally arrive. Priske has become a regular threat in the box, and he is 7/5 with bet365 to find the net at St Andrew’s.
Birmingham City 2-1 Preston North End15/2 (bet365)Birmingham have been frustrated at home, held to four draws, but bottom club Preston are a different proposition to earlier visitors, winless in four and short of belief. The Blues should finally convert territory into a win, though a Preston side that nicked a goal at QPR may reply. A 2-1 home win breaks the draw run and fits the gap. At 15/2, the scoreline is the value call.
