Sheffield Wednesday vs Birmingham City prediction 08.02.2024

• Competition: Championship
• Date: 8th February 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Hillsborough

On Friday night, Sheffield Wednesday, one of the lower six teams in the English second division, will be hosting Birmingham City, another team in the same range.

In recent years, the hosts have consistently finished in the bottom ten. Currently, The Owls are in one of the last two positions in the standings, having only avoided defeat in one out of their last four league games. Yet, there is a silver lining for Danny Röhl’s squad as they have only suffered one loss in their last three encounters with Birmingham. This will surely boost their morale.

Birmingham City, similar to their hosts, are having a far from stellar season. Currently, The Blues are situated in the lower half of the league standings. However, their recent performance has been superior to that of Sheffield Wednesday. Tony Mowbray’s team has only suffered one loss in their last three league matches, managing to secure a win and a draw.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Birmingham City Betting Tips: Both teams to score

The upcoming game on Friday will showcase some of the Championship’s weakest defences this season. Sheffield Wednesday has set a new record by conceding 50 goals in 30 games, and Birmingham City is not far behind, having allowed 45 goals in 29 games.

The recent matches between the two teams have also been characterized by goals. On average, each of the last eight games saw two goals scored. Furthermore, bets on “both teams to score-yes” were successful in six of these matches.

Another reason to anticipate goals is due to the entertainment value often seen in Birmingham City’s recent away games from St Andrew’s. Out of the team’s last nine away league games, only three ended with less than 2.5 goals.
