Look for him to be the central threat again here.

Portsmouth&#8217;s clinical edge and defensive resilience make them dangerous on the break, yet their own attacking numbers suggest a low-scoring encounter. Will Birmingham finally deliver the end product their underlying numbers promise, or will Portsmouth&#8217;s efficiency snatch the points? Our top tip: Birmingham City to win at <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo&amp;bs=183169264-1881789171~71\/100~0&amp;bet=1\">71\/100 @ Bet365<\/a> (58.5%) stands out as the best value for punters looking for a confident selection in this key mid-table clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><small>Odds correct at the time of writing.
