Birmingham vs Bristol City Prediction & Betting tips
Birmingham City and Bristol City meet in the second city of England for a direct duel. The home team started the season well by surprisingly beating Brentford. Bristol City had a weak start and lost at home to Leeds United. Will this game have a winner on Saturday? Looking ahead!
Birmingham City:
Birmingham City faced Brentford during the first round. In a one-sided game, it was very happy by winning 0-1 at Griffin Park. It shot only once on target and it was immediately hit. Defender Kristian Pedersen was crowned matchwinner in London. The victory was quite unjustified. For example, Brentford hit the bar three times and it was only stopping what the men of manager Josep Clotet were doing. This was also prompted by the 5-4-1 lineup with which the manager sent his team into the field.
It is doubtful whether the manager would let his team in Birmingham play football that way in front of their own fans. It is more likely that the lonely striker Lukas Jutkiewicz now receives support from Kerim Mrabti, Isaac Vassell or Jacques Maghoma. On the other hand, all means are allowed to accumulate points even in the eyes of their own fans. This season, enforcement is the only thing that counts for Birmingham City. Not all acquisitions made their debut during the season opener. Top purchase Ivan Sunjic stayed on the couch for over an hour and Jake Clarke – Salter did not get off the couch.
Bristol City:
Bristol City suffered a justified defeat at home on Sunday. Leeds 1-3 was way too strong for the hosts at 1-3. The difference in quality was too large and that was a disappointing observation for the fans of Bristol City. Birmingham City is an opponent against which Ashton Gate players normally stand a better chance. If Bristol City wants to play a significant role in the fight for a play-off ticket, then it must actually win this game. When next Saturday the lines can play a little shorter on each other then it has a good chance of winning.
Manager Lee Johnson was realistic after the game against Leeds United: ‘I can only conclude that Leeds United has booked a justified win today. They were sharper and more decisive at the decisive moments. It was hard to lose our player of the 2018-2019 season in the person of Adam Webster to Brighton and Hove Albion the day before this match. I have to say that his replacement Taylor Moore did great after three years of absence. I can only applaud the Leeds United victory. We will come back stronger. Starting Saturday against Birmingham City. ”
