Birmingham City Blackburn Rovers betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Both Birmingham City and Blackburn Rovers have a weak defensive sector, especially when they play in these conditions, since the home club conceded an average of 1.73 goals per match and the visitor conceded an average of 1.36 goals per match. In this way, we expect a very open game with several oportunities of great danger, making risking in favor of the "Over 2 Goals’’ market to be of great value.
