Birmingham City Sheffield Wednesday betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The "Under 2.5 goals" is the score we suggest for this game. In this match it is expected that Birmingham City will dominate and enjoy the best opportunities as they play at home, however, with some difficulties in reaching the goals. On the other hand, Sheffield Wednesday is going through a difficult moment and therefore should act in a more defensive way. It should be noted that both teams have several gaps in the finalization: they scored only 3 goals in 4 games played. Having said that and taking into account these details, risking in favor of a balanced game with few goals is a good option.
