Birmingham vs Derby Prediction & Betting tips
In Birmingham the home club of the same name receives Derby County. The home team needs a few more points to play safely. Derby County is fighting for the last play-off ticket, but has to do it in eighth place for now. Which team will leave the field as the winner?
Birmingham City:
On Friday, March 22, Birmingham City received bad news. The second club from the city was punished with no less than nine points deduction. The points were deducted because the club again had financial mismanagement in this season. Sporty manager Garry Monk had a great time during this season. Connoisseurs predicted a tough season in September, but the manager proved the opposite with this selection. In the attack he formed the royal couple Adams – Jutkiewicz which was responsible for thirty-four of the fifty-eight goals in total.
Manager Garry Monk still has to miss Maikel Kieftbeld and Charlie Lakin due to injuries on Friday afternoon. In all likelihood, the manager will not change much to his basic team, which scored a visit to Ipswich Town last Saturday. Left winger Kerim Mrbati will be replaced by Jacques Maghoma or Connor Mahoney after his disappointing performance on Portman Road.
Derby County:
Derby County did what it was supposed to do last Saturday. It won 4-0 at Pride Park against low flyer Bolton Wanderers. This brought it closer to sixth place and the target balance was also worked on. The position on the ranking currently gives a distorted picture. Derby County is eighth in the Championship but still has a duel credit just like number six in Bristol City. Middlesbrough is playing between these two teams with a point and a game more. The difference between Derby County and Bristol City is two points. Lampard’s team is dependent but much will depend on the direct duel between Bristol City and Derby County on April 27.
Manager Frank Lampard looked ahead to the game against Birmingham City on Wednesday afternoon: ‘We have to win a visit to Birmingham City tomorrow. There are still five major games to play. We know what to do. The last matches are a great opportunity to make something of the season. It would be a great achievement if we made the play-offs. Duane Holmes is not available for the next two games. If we reach the play-offs, then our season is a success. ”
