Birmingham City Preston North End betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this challenge will be for both teams to score at least one goal. We believe it will be a very open match and with several goal opportunities for both teams due to the defensive failures of the two squads. When playing at home Birmingham City acts very offensively and usually has an easy time creating goal situations, whereas Preston North has scored at least one goal in the last matches. Having said that and taking into account these factors, betting in favor of the "Both teams score - Yes" is a good option.
