Birmingham City v Leeds Betting Tips and Prediction

Saturday’s football betting tips and preview for Birmingham vs Leeds in the Championship.

We head to St. Andrews this Saturday for the Championship's early kick off which sees Birmingham City take on manager less Leeds United, who recently sacked previous coach Dave Hockaday after just six games in charge of the club.

Both sides have made a slow start to the season with Birmingham languishing in 20th in the table, and Leeds just one point and two places ahead in 18th. Both sides lost key men in the summer with the Blues forwards Chris Burke, Nikola Zigic and Tom Adeymi all moving on to pastures new and a host of relatively unknown players were bought in as replacements. Likewise Leeds sold Ross McCormack to Fulham for a Championship record £11million and also seen fellow strikers Matt Smith and Dominic Poleon depart on deadline day with Billy Sharp being the only notable acquisition.

Prediction for Birmingham v Leeds.        

With both teams struggling for points so far this season, we can't seem to split the two and we think both sides would probably settle for a point which is why we're going for a draw as our first Birmingham v Leeds prediction. The betting is tight this week but you can get a best price of 12/5 for the draw with Betfred. Betfred double your odds when you open a new account – register here.

Goals usually come thick and fast in this fixture, there have been 15 goals in the previous five matches and we think Saturday’s meeting will offer more of the same. Birmingham and Leeds already have a poor goal difference this season with both teams sitting on -5. Blues were hammered by Wigan last time out and Leeds have already been on the end of a heavy defeat by Watford. This is testament to their leaky defence which is why our second tip is for there to be over 3.5 goals in the game, which is best priced at 3/1 with William Hill. William Hill give you 2 free £10 bets when you register here.

If you're looking for a first goal scorer tip, look no further than Birmingham striker Lee Novak, who finished last season as the club's top marksman and already has 98 career goals to his name. Novak is yet to open his account this season but the former Huddersfield man will no doubt be desperate to remedy that this week and Sky Bet offer a best price of 7/1 for him to open the scoring.
