Game Analysis

  • There is barely a price between the sides. Birmingham is the shortest price on a book of 2.65 / 3.6 / 2.4 (1 / X / 2), an implied 38.9%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 35.2% / 25.9% / 38.9% on an overround of 7.2%.

  • In the league table Cardiff sit 19th on 11 points (2W 5D 4L) with Birmingham 4th on 20 points (5W 5D 1L).

  • Cardiff read D-W-L-W-L-D across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (2W 2D 2L) — patchy.

  • Birmingham read W-W-W-D-W-L across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (4W 1D 1L) — a strong recent run.

  • Head to head the record reads 4-2-0 — Cardiff wins, draws, then Birmingham wins. Their last meeting finished Birmingham - Cardiff: 0-2.

  • Cardiff lean hardest on Nathan Trott (9.5), Gabriel Osho (9.2), Ollie Tanner (9.1) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • Birmingham lean hardest on James Beadle (9.5), Phil Neumann (9.3), Christoph Klarer (9.3) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • The read: With barely anything between them on price, this is one to leave alone in the 1X2 market and attack in the goals or handicap markets instead.
