Nailed-on…

Despite two defeats on the spin the 4/9 Home Win still looks the bet of the match. Birmingham City’s recent form has stuttered, especially on the road – where they have won just one of their last six (drawn three, lost two).

There’s a case to be made for Both Teams to Score too. Toon have kept just two clean sheets from nine home matches and it has paid out in eight of Birmingham’s last 11 away matches. Coral offer 20/23 but there are better ways to cash-in on both trends…

Smart Money…

Backing the Newcastle Win & Both Teams to Score boosts your return to a much more appealing 9/4.

Plus, it should be noted that in seven of Newcastle’s nine Home Wins they have been leading at Half-time. So taking the Newcastle/ Newcastle option in the Half-time/ Full-time market also makes good sense. You’ll get 13/10.

Long Shots…

For big prices though we need to look at Correct Score and Goalscorer opportunities.

Newcastle have averaged three goals a game at home and Birmingham have conceded three goals in three of their four defeats this season. The 3-0 is available at 9/1, with 3-1 on offer at 11/1.

Dwight Gayle and Aleksandar Mitrovic have been sharing striking duties in recent matches and are the pick of the First Scorers, returning 11/4 and 7/2 respectively.

But the standout bet is for newcomers to Coral. Anybody who opens a new account will get an exclusive 28/1 on the Newcastle Win as a Welcome Bonus. Turn a quid into £29 in Free Bets in just 90 minutes!
