Burton vs Birmingham predictions and betting tips for this week’s Championship fixture on Friday 21st October including the best odds and a 6/1 anytime goalscorer tip.
The Friday night fixture from the Championship comes from the Pirelli as Burton host Birmingham. We’ve got the best three betting tips for the 19:45 kick off.
Burton manager Nigel Clough was left exasperated after his side continued their winless run away at Ipswich. Facing a side who had gone over 400 minutes without a goal, Brewers fans would have been confident of coming away with at least a point. Chances came and went, but the visitors could not find the back of the net. A 2-0 Ipswich victory probably flattered the home side with Burton only managing to guide two of their 18 shots on target during the 90 minutes. It’s now two goalless games for the Brewers and they’ll look to regain their scoring touch here. They’ve scored in all but one of their home games this season and seen off the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff here. Birmingham beat bottom side Rotherham 4-2 in midweek, but there are concerns at the back for Gary Rowett. The Blues have been solid for the majority of the season with a settled back four, but they’ve shipped seven in their last few games and five in a week. The injury to Paul Caddis forced a reshuffle at the back, but they’ve not been as dependable as they were in August and September. Up front, there’s plenty of firepower with Clayton Donaldson and Lukas Jutkiewicz fit and firing. David Cotterill is provider-in-chief and is a constant menace for the Blues.
Burton vs Birmingham Betting Predictions
Birmingham were fairly reliable away from home in the early part of the season, but they are now winless in three away from home. They have drawn three of five on the road. Burton haven’t been on the best run, but are hard to beat here. A point each seems a logical outcome so the draw is my first Burton vs Birmingham betting tip for Friday night.

Over/Under 2.5 Goals Betting Tip
Burton are struggling to be clinical at this moment in time. They were the entertainers of August, but it’s calmed since and their last four games have all finished with fewer than three goals. Birmingham score plenty at home, but away from their games tend to be cagey affairs so I’m betting on under 2.5 goals for my second Burton vs Birmingham prediction.

Anytime Goalscorer Prediction
Midfielder Jackson Irvine has made a decent start to life in the Midlands and he’s our anytime goalscorer tip to complete Friday night’s Burton vs Birmingham predictions. He arrived from Scotland and has scored in three of Burton’s home games so far. He could endear himself even more to the home fans by netting again here.
