Burton upon Trent is so close to Birmingham that this interesting Championship fixture can be considered a derby, and local pride is especially important. The hosts don't have a lot of history in the second division of English football, and were only promoted a year ago, but were strong enough to survive and finish in 20th place, upsetting many odds for football. Eventually, they had just a point less than the visitors, who had much higher aspirations, and that could be the case this term as well. Burton Albion could overachieve under the local legend Nigel Clough, while Birmingham City might underachieve despite having Harry Redknapp as a manager. As we show in our Burton Albion vs Birmingham City preview.

Both teams started the season in disappointing fashion. The hosts are rock bottom with no points after three matches, having lost 1-0 to Cardiff City, 4-1 at Hull City and 2-0 at Middlesbrough. The visitors got four points but the quality of the game is dreadful, and they have real problems finding the net. Beating Bristol City 2-1 and drawing 0-0 with newly promoted Bolton Wanderers is not impressive, and the only away game was lost 1-0 at Ipswich. This is relevant to our Burton Albion vs Birmingham City betting tips.

Burton Albion vs Birmingham City Predictions and Betting Advice

Looking at the last season is very important for our Burton Albion vs Birmingham City predictions. Burton Albion won both fixtures against their local rivals, 2-0 both away and at home. Those are the only official matches between the rivals, but amusingly the hosts even won both friendlies that took place in recent years. In short, they have a perfect record against the visitors, and that is something to take into account when the teams are roughly equal. The odds on the hosts are especially good at Betway, who frequently offer the best football bets, and stand at 2.75.
