Stoke vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting Tips

Bet365 Stadium · Kick-off 15:00 UK time

Match commentary

Birmingham arrive as league leaders with the better season average, so they will likely be happy to control possession and play patiently against a Stoke side conceding 1.2 per game. Stoke should look to press high at the Bet365 Stadium and try to force Birmingham into mistakes in their own half.

The key battle is Stoke's home attack against Birmingham's defensive record, with both sides scoring enough to make goals a real possibility. Birmingham's 0.9 goals conceded per game will test whether Stoke can turn territory into clear chances.
