Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson is with in-form Birmingham to grind out a win.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Birmingham City to win5/4Birmingham have been genuinely hard to beat, unbeaten in normal running with four draws from six and boasting the meaner, more organised defence. Derby, in stark contrast, have been dreadful down in 22nd, losing four of six and shipping 11 goals along the way. The visitors carry far more solidity and know-how, and at 5/4 to win against such a leaky, out-of-sorts home side, they look real value.
Birmingham to win 1-0 (correct score)13/2Birmingham are low-scoring but stubborn and clinical, the classic 1-0 away-day side, while Derby have offered next to nothing going forward with just five goals in six games. A tight, controlled single-goal win fits the profile of both teams almost perfectly, and with correct scores always paying a premium, 13/2 about the exact 1-0 scoreline is a tempting, well-reasoned punt.

How Derby go into the game

Derby were beaten 1-0 by West Brom last time out, a frustrating home defeat. Pride Park must spark a response.

Committed and organised, Derby will look to frustrate Birmingham. A home win would lift the mood.

How Birmingham go into the game

Birmingham were beaten 2-1 at Norwich last time out, a narrow defeat. They travel to Pride Park with the greater quality.

Well-backed and dangerous, Birmingham carry a threat. Three points is the aim.
