Birmingham City vs Preston North End Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Preview

This Saturday afternoon (15:00) fixture features two sides in opposite halves of the Championship table. Here we have our match preview with all the best predictions, betting tips and match stats.

Birmingham bounced back from a disappointing local derby defeat with a 2-0 road victory at Millwall in midweek. Michael Morrison and an own-goal saw them home in a game their opponents played 60 minutes with ten men.

Preston are now nine unbeaten following a midweek 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough thanks to an Alan Browne goal. It was a game that deserved to end all-square with the rare occurrence of it also being an exact tie on the expected goals data.

North-End are unbeaten in their last nine meetings with the Blues with four of their last six ending in a draw. Each of their last seven head-to-heads have seen both teams score with five going over 2.5 goals.

Six of the nine Birmingham have played this season at their own ground have ended in a draw while three of the last four Preston have played on the road have done the same so taking the game to end all-square looks the sensible call.

Both sides to score has happened in the last five at St Andrew’s and with North-End having netted in each of their last five on the road this looks a way to enhance the draw and covers 1-1, 2-2 and all the way up to another 5-5 like Villa and Forest produced in midweek.
