Birmingham City free betting tips, odds and predictions

Birmingham City will be hoping their stay in League One is limited to one season after a bizarre yet that saw them go from early play-off contenders to a relegation shambles.

The Blues and new manager Chris Davies have recruited well though, so we aren’t expecting any hangover.

Birmingham City odds to win League One

Birmingham are priced at 15/8 to win League One, making them the shortest price of any English league title contender other than Man City this decade.

 

Can Birmingham City win the EFL Trophy?

They can if they want to. There’s enough depth in the squad to make a run toward the final, but it all depends on how much of a priority it is.

The 46-game EFL season is gruelling enough without the possibility of a run in the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and EFL Trophy.

Top League One teams typically play a minimum of 53 matches across four competitions, which will be a new experience for Brum.

We are still awaiting the odds but expect City to be the favourites.

 

Will Birmingham City win League One?

Not only do we think Birmingham City will win League One, we think they’ll wrap up promotion with time to spare and threaten the total points record.

Wolves put 103 points on the board during the 2013/14 season and a couple of sides have flirted with that number in recent seasons, as Plymouth were promoted with 101, Ipswich with 98, and Portsmouth with 97.

The league looks as competitive as ever this season, but City have been spending beyond the means of any other side in this league and it should pay dividends.

There’s no direct correlation between pounds spent and points earned, but the Blues have retained some talented attackers from last season’s team, whilst adding a potential Golden Boot winner in Alfie May.

 

Who will be Birmingham’s top goalscorer?

There’s no question that Alfie May will be Birmingham’s top goalscorer. If he stays fit for the entire season, he’ll be in with a shout of winning the Golden Boot.

He’s settled instantly and has been prolific in pre-season. There’s so much quality feeding him from wide areas, which suits his style of play.

Birmingham’s sheer dominance in matches, especially at home, should mean he is on the end of more goalscoring chances than anyone else at this level.
