Birmingham vs Leicester Betting Tips: BTTS / Leicester to Win

This season and in recent weeks, Leicester has shown great form, arriving in Birmingham. With only three losses out of 21 matches played, the Foxes are leading the Championship. They are one point ahead of Ipswich, who are second, but have a ten-point lead over Leeds, who are in third place. It seems likely that Leicester will promptly return to the Premier League, given their current strong position.

Enzo Maresca’s team has been performing exceptionally well in recent weeks, amassing 13 points from their last five games. The Foxes have been notably effective on the road, securing eight victories from their last ten away matches. However, they have only managed to keep a clean sheet in one of their past nine road games.

Birmingham, the hosts, have had a hard time finding any consistency under their new manager, Wayne Rooney. Coming into Monday night’s match, the Blues have only managed to secure two victories in their last ten matches, suffering defeat in six of them.

Despite this, Rooney’s team has proven difficult to defeat at home, with only one loss in their last ten home matches. They secured victories in four of those games and ended in a draw in another four.

With their solid home form, and having bagged two goals or more in four of their last six at St Andrews, Birmingham should have enough quality to at least get on the scoresheet. However, with Leicester in such good form, an away win with both teams scoring seems the likeliest outcome for Monday´s Championship encounter.
