Fancy a flutter against Birmingham?
Newcastle start this season’s FA Cup at fellow Championship club Birmingham City. Let’s see where the smart money is going according to official betting partner Coral…
Nailed-on…
Both Teams to Score has paid out in four of Newcastle’s last seven away matches and five of Birmingham’s last seven at home. But only offers a 4/5 return.
So the Over 2.5 Goals looks the better value at 10/11. It has paid out in seven of Birmingham’s last eight matches and when the teams met at St James’ just four weeks and five matches ago, there were four goals.
You might even prefer to take the 10/11 available for the Away Win. Despite Monday’s blip at Blackburn, Newcastle’s away form is the best in the division and Birmingham have lost five of their last seven matches.
Smart Money…
Doubling up the Newcastle Win & Over 2.5 Goals pushes the price up to 2/1 with the Newcastle/ Newcastle option in the Half-time/Full-time market paying a fractionally better 21/10.
Long Shots…
Looking at the Correct Score market, two of the last four away wins have ended 2-1. The other two ended 2-0. You’ll get 15/2 and 8/1 respectively.
As far as Goalscorers go, Dwight Gayle tops the list at 14/5 to Score First and 19/20 Anytime. But it’s worth noting that in his ten goal-scoring appearances so far this season, on seven occasions he has scored more than once – hitting two five times and three twice.
Coral go 14/5 he’ll Score Two or More v Birmingham.
