Leicester City Birmingham City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

A game with a great tendency to be balanced. Still, Leicester should dominate ball possession and attack more slowly, creating many difficulties for their opponent. On the other hand, Birmingham is a team that like to play on the counterattack, and in this challenge, they should have many chances to score. Thus, and taking into account the defensive failures of the two sides, we believe that investing in favor of the ‘"Over 2.5 Goals" market is a good option.
