Birmingham v Wolves prediction

What to expect

We expect about 1.4 goals from Birmingham and 1.5 from Wolves, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.9 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Wolves come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.4-1.5), and we make both teams to score about 61%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 61 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.88, which works out at about 53 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
Birmingham have won one of their last three.
Wolves are unbeaten in their last five — three wins and two draws.

One thing to watch

One well-drilled defence, or a game that turns one-sided, and this is gone. At around 61% on our numbers, it's a solid lean rather than a certainty.
