Derby County Birmingham City betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 18^th position of the league, with 31 points won, after 8 wins, 8 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Barnsley, by (2‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Peterborough United, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, with 17 goals scored and 19 conceded at home, against 13 goals scored and 23 conceded in away matches. Their last away match for this competition ended in a loss by (6‑2) against Fulham. In the last 10 away league matches Birmingham has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 28 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 14 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Birmingham comes to this match after a 2-2 home draw against Peterborough. The visiting team usually plays in a 4-3-3, favoring offensive transitions and channeling their attack through the flanks. The three arrows aimed at the “enemy” will be Lukas Jutkiewicz, Scott Hogan and Onel Hernández. Birmingham has a more interior style of play, where their players are trying to build up through short passes, advancing on the ground as a block. The midline of the visiting team should be composed of Ivan Sunjic, Ryan Woods and Jordan James, with the latter being the conductor of his club. The visitors' coach will not be able to count on goalkeeper Matija Sarkic as he is, at this stage, recovering from a shoulder injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Neil Etheridge, Kristian Pedersen, Maxime Colin, M. Roberts, Teden Mengi, Juninho Bacuna, Gary Gardner, R. Woods, Scott Hogan, Onel Lázaro Hernández Mayea, Lyle Taylor.
Coach: C. Davies.
