Birmingham vs Fulham Match Preview
Birmingham, who were demoted from the Championship last term, have had a fine start to life in League One, and they are currently fifth in the table.
Fulham, who were defeated 1-0 by Manchester United in their opening game of the Premier League season at Old Trafford, bounced back over the weekend with a 2-1 win over Leicester on home soil.
This could be a tasty clash, and to get you in the mood for the game, I have plucked out a couple of Birmingham Fulham betting tips from the available markets for you to sink your teeth into.
Fulham to avoid an early slip-up
As is always the case in football, games are never won on paper.
No, it is what happens on the pitch that counts, and with cup ties, anything can happen.
Birmingham have been through a tumultuous 12 months, but now, they seem to be more cohesive and fluent. Fulham will need to be wary of Alfie May, who has now scored in each of the Blues’ first three League One games, the first Birmingham player to do so since Kevin Philipps in 2008/09.
Fulham have had the upper hand in this fixture, and they have not lost to Birmingham since a 3-1 reverse back in May 2018.
The last two meetings have been laden with goals with 13 plundered, so we could be in for a thriller.
I expect Fulham to win through to the third round, and I’m drawn to Fulham to prevail & BTTS which has been priced at 2/1 by Paddy Power.
Emile Smith-Rowe to put the finishing touches on victory
While it may have been a shame that Emile Smith Rowe’s career fizzled out at Arsenal, he’s already making himself feel at home across the Capital.
The midfielder joined Fulham in a £34 million deal from the Gunners during the summer transfer window, and he excelled against Leicester.
His virtuoso display rewarded him with a goal, and he has the star quality that could give Fulham a different dimension this term.
To round off my Birmingham Fulham betting tips, I like the look of the goalscorer specials and for Smith Rowe to net the final goal of the game. Eye-catching odds of 15/2 have been proffered by bet365 for you to explore should you wish to do so.
