Birmingham v Derby County Betting Tips [19 April 2019]
The match
Two sides that need three points for contrasting reasons come face to face in the Championship when Birmingham City (18th, 46 points) host Derby County (eighth, 63 points). The hosts are six points above the bottom-three and with four games to play, points will be crucial for survival. The Blues have stitched a three-match unbeaten run (W1, D2), but five losses in their last eight games (W1, D2, L5) mean they are vulnerable to losing important games. Playing at home, they have struggled to close out games and have won just one of their last six Championship matches (W1, D2, L3). Having stayed unbeaten at home until the start of December 2018, Birmingham have since gone on to lose five of their next 11 which does not augur well for them. Derby start this round two points behind top-six and need a win to keep the pressure up in the chase. They have lost just once in their last seven Championship matches (W3, D3, L1), but their inability to close out games has come back to haunt them. Even on the road in the Championship, they have failed to win any of their last seven Championship matches (D3, L4).
Key Statistics
- There have been under 2.5 match goals in seven of Birmingham City’s last eight Championship games.
- Derby County have failed to score in five of their last seven Championship away games.
- Derby County have failed to win their last seven Championship away matches.
