Birmingham City Rotherham United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Birmingham City have all the conditions to achieve a very positive result in this third round of the Championship. For having a squad with more quality players, the home club should dominate and have the best chances to score goals, setting aside any eventual surprise on the part of their opponent. In addition, the home team have not conceded goals and will hardly allow it to happen in this challenge. On the other hand, Rotherham United have already managed to win away from home, however, a much inferior opponent. Taking into account these factors, betting in favor of the victory of Birmingham City is the best option.

Preview
Birmingham City and Rotherham United meet at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium, in a match for the 3rd round of the Championship. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 4 matches they won 3 and tied 1. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 22‑04‑2019, and ended in a (1‑3) win by Birmingham City. Rotherham United registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Birmingham

Currently in the 6th position of the league, the home team has conquered 4 points so far. In the 1st round, they won at home against Brentford by (1‑0). In the following round, the final score was a (0‑0) draw in an away match against Swansea City. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 25 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Birmingham City has won 2, tied 3 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.

Birmingham City arrive for this game with a goalless away draw against Swansea registering in this way the second game in a row without losing in this competition. In this match at home, coach Aitor Karanka should play in the usual 4-2-3-1, favoring the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the aisles: Jon Toral and Jeremie Bela are very fast and competent to transport the ball to the attack. Note that the home team have not conceded any goals in the championship yet. All players are available for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Neil Etheridge, Harlee Dean, Maxime Colin, George Friend, Kristian Pedersen, Adam Clayton, Ivan Šunjić, Jérémie Bela, Iván Sánchez, Lukas Jutkiewicz, Scott Hogan.
Coach: T. Mowbray.

Analysis Rotherham

The away team is currently in the 15th position of the league, with 3 points won. In their debut they won in an away match against Wycombe Wanderers, by (0‑1). In the second round, they lost in a home match against Millwall, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Rotherham United has won 6, tied 1 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches.

Rotherham United come to this match with a 0-1 home defeat to Millwall, thus registering the first defeat in this second English division. Still, it should be noted that the visitors have already won in this competition, against Wycombe (0-1). In this away match, coach Paul Warne should play in 4-4-2, with George Hirst and Freddie Ladapo being the team's most offensive references. It should be noted that the visitors present some gaps in the aerial game and defensive organization. For this game, the visiting team cannot count on Clark Robinson and Curtis Tilt, both injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Jamal Blackman, Michael Ihiekwe, Angus MacDonald, Billy Jones, Wes Harding, Ben Wiles, Matt Crooks, Shaun MacDonald, Mikel Miller, George Hirst, Chiedozie Ogbene.
Coach: S. Evans.
