Birmingham City v Southampton: prediction and result

Birmingham City hosted Southampton in the Championship on Monday 29 December, and it finished 1–1.

Birmingham City are short of results: 0 won, 2 drawn and 3 lost from their last 5, 2 points from a possible 15. They have scored 4 and conceded 10 in that run. Their last game was a 1–1 draw at home to Derby County.

Southampton are in decent form: 2 won, 1 drawn and 2 lost from their last 5, 7 points from a possible 15. They have scored 9 and conceded 8 in that run. Their last game was a 1–2 defeat away at Oxford United.

The best prices across 3 UK bookmakers are 2.40 for Birmingham, 3.50 for the draw and 2.87 for Southampton. The bookmakers make Birmingham City favourites, at about 40% once the margin is taken out.

Our prediction: Birmingham City to win, with a 47% chance. The market puts it at 39% and our match model at 58%, and blending those with recent form gives 47%. The best price, 2.40 at WilliamHill, is longer than our fair price of 2.15, so there is value in it. The pick lost.
