Leicester City are scrapping for their lives in the Championship.
Their situation is simple: results are everything.
Performances can take a back seat if needed: it’s about digging in, finding moments and getting points on the board.
Birmingham’s First-Half Prowess
The first-half markets could be the place to play, especially with Birmingham’s tendency to come flying out of the traps.
There’s a really strong data angle here that makes the 6/4 with Sky Bet on Birmingham to be winning at half-time stand out as a bet worth your attention.
No team in the Championship can better their expected goals figure before the break, which sits at a chunky 18.58.
Only Hull City and Ipswich have scored more home goals before half-time, putting Birmingham right at the top table when it comes to turning that intent into actual pressure.
This isn’t about backing Birmingham outright over 90 minutes, where inconsistency can creep in. It’s about isolating a clear strength of fast starts and attacking a specific market that plays right into it.
Managerial Moves and Motivation
Motivation is everything at this stage of the Championship season and you won’t find a bigger contrast than what we’ve got here.
On one side is Leicester City scrapping for their lives.
On the other, Preston North End are drifting towards the finishing line with very little left to play for.
Norwich City’s Impressive Run
No team has earned more Championship points since Christmas than Norwich City, posting 12 wins from 17 matches.
