Birmingham v Brentford Tips

Birmingham host Brentford on Saturday afternoon at St Andrew’s with the hosts looking to extend their unbeaten run to nine games. Read the Birmingham v Brentford match preview and predictions below.

Birmingham are in great form at the moment having picked up 11 points from a possible 15 in the league in recent games. Their recent run of form has left Pep Clotet’s side in 15th position, sitting halfway between the relegation zone and the playoff spots based on points. Reaching a playoff position come the end of the season isn’t out of the question for the Blues, although they will need to pick up maximum points on Saturday as they have done recently against Bristol City and Nottingham Forest.

Brentford are in 5th position in the Championship and just six points adrift of league leaders West Brom. After a slight blip in form where they shared a point away to Huddersfield and lost 1-0 at home against Forest, Thomas Frank’s side have now achieved back-to-back wins against Hull and Middlesbrough, scoring an impressive eight goals in those two games.

Birmingham v Brentford Prediction

Brentford are rightly the favourites going into this match. The Bee’s have a real chance of becoming a Premier League club next season but this game will be far from easy for them. Birmingham have found a bit of form and will no doubt cause the visitors problems and so we’re expecting them to get on the scoresheet. Overall though, we predict it will be Brentford who take away all three points and continue their push for promotion. A 2-1 away win is our prediction.
