Birmingham vs Brentford Prediction
Why we picked this for Birmingham vs Brentford
For Birmingham vs Brentford (EFL Trophy) our analyst goes with Under 2.5 goals. This is a judgement call against the recent numbers, which is why no confidence figure is shown. In their last 5 matches, Birmingham's games produced 2.4 goals on average, 3 of them over 2.5. Brentford's games averaged 3.0, with 4 of 5 over the line. On recent form this pick looks wrong: just 3 of the teams' last 10 games went under 2.5. The analyst's view is that those games, against different levels of opposition, say little about this particular matchup.
History between the two sides fits the pick too: 5 of 5 recent meetings went under 2.5. It is a judgement call, not a numbers call, and it is tracked in our record like every other pick. Final score: 1-6. The pick lost.
