Birmingham and Barnsley face off at St Andrews in Saturday night’s glamour tie, which is brought to you, LIVE ON SKY SPORTS! (I’m sure you’ll all be tuned in).

Birmingham have yet to taste defeat at home whilst Barnsley (can anyone say Barnsley without trying to put on a Barnsley accent? Try reading the rest of this article as Mick McCarthy, it’ll make it more fun) have yet to register a solitary point on their travels.

With this in mind it’s no surprise to see the bookies chalk up Birmingham at best price 8/11 with Paddy Power. You can get 3/1 the draw with Boylesports and if you fancied Barnsley to take all 3 points, you can get 11/2 with Bet365.

I can’t see past a home win here but the 8/11 on offer hardly sets the pulse racing. What does catch the eye is the Score-Win double of Marlon King-Birmingham at 9/4 with Betfred. King has managed to find the back of the net with his boots in his last two matches with the most recent being the winner on Tuesday night against Bolton. Given that was a penalty we know, should Birmingham get a penalty, that he’ll be the man to take it, which gives an extra arrow to our bow for this bet.

It’s also worth noting that, although Barnsley have lost all three matches on the road, they have managed to score a goal on each occasion. Both teams to score at 10/11 with Boylesports is worth a saver. See? How much better was it reading it as Mick rather than your own voice?
