Birmingham City to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Birmingham because they’ve scored 34% more goals than West Brom this season (43 vs 32), boast higher possession, and have only lost 1 of their last 5 home H2Hs. Their defensive record is also better, conceding 8 fewer goals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Jay Stansfield Anytime Goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n6\/4 @ Bet365<\/a>
(40.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nStansfield is Birmingham’s main threat and likely to lead the line, with the side creating the highest number of big chances in the division. With West Brom conceding 47 goals already, he looks primed to add to his tally.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
