Latest Match Odds Suggest Birmingham Win

Some will want to go ahead and back Birmingham City at -130 to win this Championship encounter. After all, this betting price suggests a 56% chance that the favourites end up succeeding. If you’re searching for a different slant, Hull City are available at +380.

Birmingham -0.75 at -105 means you split your Asian Handicap stake between -0.5 and -1. You ideally want a win by two goals or more against Hull, although a one-goal victory means a half-stake return and a refund with the other half.
