Bristol City beat Birmingham and BTTS looks well worth a wager at 7/2 with Paddy Power in Friday night’s Championship clash.
The Robins can strengthen their position in the play-off places with a home victory.
There is every incentive for Lee Johnson’s side to do that at Ashton Gate as they play before all their promotion rivals in this round of matches.
Birmingham City, meanwhile, are only eight points above the drop. They are on a decent run, however, and unbeaten in their last four.
Despite Bristol City winning their last four Championship matches without conceding, the visiting Blues have Scott Hogan in on loan from Second City rivals Aston Villa.
He made a goalscoring debut for Birmingham last time out. Hogan also has three in six career appearances against the Robins. Paired with Blues frontman Lukas Jutkiewicz in attack by Pep Clotet, they should give the home defence plenty to do.
Why Bristol City beat Birmingham and BTTS odds make sense
Both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings. That is why Bristol City beat Birmingham and BTTS odds appeal most at a decent price with bookmakers in this encounter.
Senegal striker Famara Diedhiou scored home and away against the Blues last season. He is the top scorer for the Robins again this term so far with 10.
Bristol City have managed to beat fellow bottom 10 teams Luton Town, Wigan Athletic, Barnsley, Reading and QPR in recent weeks.
Birmingham, meanwhile, have failed to beat Middlesbrough, Cardiff City and the Latics among their results in 2020.
The Robins may hand Nahki Wells – prolific on loan at QPR during the first half of this season – a first start. With the Bermuda striker in their ranks, the home team has extra firepower.
Bet of the Day: 7/2 with Paddy Power, Bristol City beat Birmingham and BTTS in the Championship.
