Birmingham vs Blackburn Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

With an approximate 55% chance of succeeding, the bookies are being cautious with their -120 betting odds for Birmingham City triumphing in this Championship encounter. Blackburn Rovers are the underdogs at +360 which implies a lesser percentage prospect of winning.

Birmingham are -123 on the Asian Handicap -0.5 which is the same as a victory on the Full-Time Result. The alternative is to oppose the favourites and get the draw onside by going for Blackburn +0.5 at -104 instead.

For those anticipating a low-scoring contest, Under 2.5 is the market leader for the Total Goals market. If you’re anticipating that one team or more will draw a blank, then the No option on the Both Teams to Score market is chalked up at -128.
