Prediction: 1-1
Sunderland
St. Andrew’s Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Birmingham City and Sunderland. The Blues aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. All Alex Pritchard, Dion Sanderson, Alfie Chang, and George Hall are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Black Cats, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Huddersfield Town. As Birmingham City are tough to beat at home, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. It has to be noted that both teams managed to find the net in each of the previous five meetings between the two sides in the English second tier. The likes of Aji Alese, Bradley Dack, Niall Huggins, Dennis Cirkin, and Corry Evans are sidelined for the visiting side.
