Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There is 78% chance of Northampton and Birmingham 3 goals or less combined during this League One game according to our predictive algorithm and, in the absense of a strong favourite in the WDW market, we think that's where the smart money should go. Our calculations are made based on recent form, historical head-to-head (H2H) stats and the view of the betting market, and you can go with it at a best price of 1.25.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 54% chance of Birmingham coming away with a win.
