Birmingham vs Millwall Prediction
Birmingham Form
In their last three matches, Birmingham beat Bristol City by 0-2 and Plymouth by 2-1, before losing against Cardiff by 1-3. Birmingham won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Championship, while also drawing one. They suffered two defeats, while they scored five and conceded four goals.
A top half finish is the dream target for Birmingham, although keeping their Championship status for another season has to be the priority.
Millwall Form
Millwall collected one win from their last three matches, as Bristol City won by 0-1. Norwich were too strong as well, winning 3-1, before Millwall won 1-0 against Stoke. Millwall won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Championship. The scoreline from these matches says eight goals conceded and six scored.
Qualifying for an international tournament is the dream target for Millwall, while a top half finish is the least the visitors must accomplish for their latest Championship campaign.
Are Birmingham good enough currently to justify the prices with the bookies, when they face Millwall at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium? It could be tight, but considering form and match history, we believe the home side represents the best betting option.
