What Is the Best Birmingham City vs Preston North End Bet Builder?

Harry Clarke to be Carded, Phil Neumann to be Carded and Both Teams to Score, around 33/1 to 36/1 combined.

Harry Clarke has been booked in 4 of his last 8 matches at 0.53 per 90, and Preston North End pick up 2.0 cards a game and there are 3.0 in their matches — 50% on our numbers against an implied 29%.

Phil Neumann has been booked in 3 of his last 10 matches at 0.27 per 90, and Birmingham City pick up 2.15 cards a game and there are 3.7 in their matches — 30% on our numbers against an implied 18%.

Both Teams to Score. Birmingham City win 6.1 corners a game and Preston North End 5.0, which makes this about 60% on our numbers against the 55% its price implies. Corners are a separate market from the player legs, so this one multiplies into the builder cleanly.

If that is longer than you want, the betting tips below run from 1/10 to 2/1 and any of them swaps straight in. Legs in the same match are not independent — a fouls-drawn leg and a fouls-committed leg both get easier in a scrappy game — so treat the combined price as indicative, and bet365’s own builder will differ slightly.
