Best Tip: Birmingham to win

A Championship win on home turf for Chris Davies's Birmingham team win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Statistics suggest they have what it takes, and they should have too much for the opposition. The odds from the bookmakers suggest the same, and when that happens you've know you're not going against the market. A Birmingham win is our recommendation, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.
