Derby County Vs Birmingham City - The Betting Preview

Back at Pride Park Stadium after consecutive away fixtures, Derby County return to home soil to take on a Birmingham City side, under the guidance of Lee Carsley, and ahead of the encounter, dcfc.co.uk highlights where we cash in with official betting partner Coral…

Nailed-On…

Birmingham have lost six matches in all competitions on the spin, so the 4/5 available for the Home Win looks solid.

Over 2.5 Goals has also paid out in Derby’s last four and is on offer at a slightly bigger Evens.

But the smart move is to double both bets up…

Smart Money…

You can get a more appealing 2/1 for the Derby Win & Over 2.5 Goals. Plus the last four matches have averaged 4.75 goals, so you might also fancy taking the Derby Win & Over 3.5 Goals at a chunky looking 9/2.

Birmingham have only scored once in their last four matches and three of Derby’s wins this season have been To Nil, so that should also be on your radar. You’ll get 2/1.

Another way to boost your Home Win price is playing the Half-Time/ Full-Time market. The Derby/ Derby and the Draw/ Derby options have both paid out twice so far. You’ll get 2/1 and 17/5 respectively.

Long Shots…

For bigger prices, you can back a third 1-0 win of the season at 11/2 in the Correct Score market. The 2-0 pays 15/2 - both have paid out twice in Birmingham defeats already this season.
