Birmingham vs Ipswich Bet Builder Tip Reasons
Ipswich to win: We’re backing an Ipswich Town win in this opening day fixture as they travel to face Birmingham City at St Andrews. St Andrews looks set to be a fortress this season as the Blues of Birmingham will be on a high following their return to the Championship, but I think the Tractor Boys will spoil the party. They are favourites to win the league for a reason, and still have a lot of talented players and a strong squad after being relegated from the Premier League. It’ll be a very close game, full of excitement, but I’m backing Ipswich to win despite Birmingham being favourites at home. Both Teams to Score: As I said, it’ll be a close game, and I think both teams will get themselves on the scoresheet here. Both teams will be up for it from the off, as they both look to get off to a strong start as they hunt for promotion back to the Premier League. It’ll be a buoyant atmosphere, and I expect the players to react with a strong showing. Both teams to score is good odds here. Jay Stansfield to have 1+ shots on target: I’m going for two players to have one or more shots on target here too. Birmingham’s Jay Stansfield has a good eye for goal, and I think he will have a strong season. Last season, he bagged 19 goals in 37 League One appearances. In his last Championship campaign, he scored 12 in 43. Scotland cap George George Hirst to have 1+ shots on target: Hirst is the second player I’m backing to have a shot on target. He only managed three goals in the Premier League last campaign, and the season before, he scored seven in the Championship. With a Prem season under his belt, he comes into this Championship campaign with more experience, and I think he will make it count. Both players are good odds to have at least one shot on target here.Get a £10 Free Bet when you bet on Birmingham vs Ipswich
