📊 Statistical preview for the match Birmingham City – Fulham U21
- This season Birmingham take 6.7 corners per 90 minutes, while their opponents take 4.1. For Fulham, this figure is 5.6 and 5.2, respectively. Both teams earn a lot of set pieces themselves and allow them in front of their goal. Therefore, it seems logical to bet on the total number of corners (9.5).
- In the previous five meetings involving the hosts, the teams earned 24 yellow cards, which is almost five per game. For guests in the same segment, this figure is equal to 21 mustard plasters. Therefore, it seems rational to bet on the total number of yellow cards (3.5).
📋 Birmingham City vs Fulham U21 Prediction
The guests are playing very effectively at the start of the season. In the previous five meetings with their participation, the teams scored 27 times! Of these, Fulham missed 13 of them. “Birmingham” differs almost twice in 90 minutes, and in a match with a less experienced opponent who plays poorly in defense, this can have an effect. Therefore, it makes sense to consider a bet on the total over (2.5) for 1.5.
“Birmingham” is the favorite in the upcoming confrontation, which is determined by the home stands. It is also difficult for young teams to compete with physically stronger and more experienced ones, and teams from the third division of England have an advantage in class. Therefore, our forecast is a victory for Birmingham with a handicap (-1.5) for 1.98.
