As the English League Championship kicks off, let's focus on Group A South, where Birmingham host Walsall. Birmingham are on a roll, winning four of their last five matches. However, when it comes to offense and defense, Birmingham is not indestructible. In their last four matches, they have scored two or more goals in the second half, so a half-time bet of 1.5 goals may be worth considering.
Last year, Birmingham finished in the top three of the Championship, but this season they were unexpectedly relegated to the First Division. But as the saying goes, "even a rotten ship has three nails", and Birmingham has the strength to cope with the First Division. Birmingham have won three and drawn one of their four matches since the start of the season, and have also won four consecutive cup matches, with their only defeat being by a Premier League team in the English League Cup. Nevertheless, Birmingham will undoubtedly go all out to win against the weaker League Two side Wassall. However, Birmingham's defense has been a bit unstable, conceding goals in their last four matches, and it is still uncertain whether they can keep their clean sheet in this match.
Wassall are in Group B, but have won three and lost one of their last four matches, scoring a total of nine goals, including a 3-2 comeback victory over Huddersfield after trailing by two goals in the league. This performance reflects the high morale of the players in the team, and they are capable of breaking the goal drought even if they lose this match.
