Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting there's minimal chance that this game will deliver 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics are in line with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Birmingham and L Orient have seldom served up thrillers of late, whether that be in League One individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, without a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.25.

Goal Statistics

Birmingham City have been steady in front of goal of late, scoring in 8 consecutive League One outings. Their PG of 1.5 against Leyton Orient on Tuesday suggests that run is likely to continue.

Birmingham City's defensive record is to be admired, C. Davies's men having conceded 1 or less in 15 consecutive League One outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Leyton Orient makes sense in this context.
