Sparkles will be flying when Birmingham City and WBA face each other in the Birmingham derby on Friday evening. The Blues aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Hudersfield Town, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. All Lee Buchanan, Keshi Anderson, Ethan Laird, George Hall, and Tyler Roberts are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Baggies, on the other hand, head into the local derby following back-to-back wins over Preston and Sheffield Wednesday. West Brom are eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet and seeing that both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the Birmingham derby, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on under 2.5 goals. As for the away team, all Jeremy Sarmiento, Josh Maja, Adam Reach, and Daryl Dike are sidelined with injuries.
