Too close to call on the numbers. Birmingham 0%, Bristol City 0%, the draw live at 0%.
Birmingham are unbeaten in their last five; Bristol City have lost three of their last five. The momentum is with the hosts going into this Championship tie.
A razor-thin margin: Birmingham at 0%, but the draw sits at 0%. Covering two of the three results is the sensible approach when the margins are this fine.
The bookmakers have priced this match fairly. Our model doesn't see a big edge in the match result market.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Birmingham create chances worth 1.2 a game (and give up chances worth 1.2), leaving them 0.0 a game on the balance. Bristol City create 1.1 (giving up 1.7) for a balance of -0.6. The underlying numbers clearly favour Birmingham. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones.
Birmingham average 1.5 goals per game and Bristol City manage 1.4. Combined that's just 2.9. We make it only 8% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Both teams scoring is unlikely here (29%).
Both teams score in 65% of Birmingham's home games and 52% of Bristol City's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Birmingham do it the hard way: only 1.5 a game up top, but a mean 0.7 conceded. They're a tough nut to crack: they soak up pressure and hit you on the break.
