LUFC have enjoyed an exciting start to 2017/18, going through their first eight matches unbeaten in the lead up to our Leeds United vs Birmingham City betting tips. Their solidity in defensive zones has been the reason for their success – they have kept a very impressive five clean sheets in eight. Last time out, they bashed in five goals without reply against Burton Albion.

The Blues have lost four on the trot prior to today’s free Leeds United vs Birmingham City predictions and betting picks. Harry Redknapp is struggling to get to grips with The Championship and no team in the division has scored fewer goals (3) than toothless City.

In the last six encounters between Leeds and Birmingham, they have won two games apiece and drawn the other two. Their most recent clash was in March at St. Andrew’s. LUFC managed to steer themselves to a 3-1 victory that day with goals from Alfonso Pedraza and a brace from Chris Wood.

Leeds United vs Birmingham City Prediction and Betting Advice

Choice one for our Championship football predictions is a home win. City actually have a terrific record at Elland Road – they have only lost once in seven trips to that part of Yorkshire. They have proven to be a bogey team of sorts for Leeds but this season things promise to develop in a very different way. So far in 2017/18, United have plundered fourteen goals in five matches at their own stadium, averaging just under three goals per game. Even more impressive are their defensive statistics – they have let in just two goals in those same five contests. Redknapp’s City have lost all three of their fixtures away from Birmingham, and with their confidence looking shattered, they look destined to lose again. Unibet have a wide variety of excellent offers and odds for bettors this week.

With five goals in his last three appearances, 24-year-old LUFC midfielder Kemar Roofe is on fire, making him a great choice for inclusion in our Leeds United vs Birmingham City picks. The former Oxford winger has a real eye for goal this season and has looked a threat especially when he plays from the right-hand side. With City particularly weak in the full back areas, Tuesday is another chance for Roofe to get himself on the scoresheet. Roofe only scored three times in the whole of last season and he has already had a more productive campaign in terms of numbers this time around.
