Birmingham City vs Fulham Betting Tips and Predictions | Football Park

It’s gotten to the stage where Premier League teams are getting involved in the Carabao Cup and one of them is featured in this match. Fulham travel up to the Midlands to face Birmingham City at St Andrew’s Park for this Round 2 fixture.

Birmingham City

Birmingham have had some good performances in League One this season following their relegation from the Championship last year. The 2023/24 season saw them end the campaign in 22nd place with 13 wins, 22 losses and 11 draws, totalling 50 points. However, they currently have two wins and a draw to their name as they shared a point with Reading in a 1-1 draw on the opening game of the season and then went on to win both their next games versus Wycombe Wanderers and Leyton Orient.

The Blues have continued that good from in the Carabao Cup as well. A 0-1 away win against Charlton Athletic in Round 2 was enough to see them through and get scheduled to face Premier League opposition in Fulham.

Fulham

Fulham are a team on the up at the moment. A great transfer window has seen them use the money they received from Bayern Munich for João Palhinha to bring in talents Joachim Andersen and Emile Smith-Rowe, the latter scoring in their previous game, helping them beat Leicester 2-1. They sit in 11th place as they lost in the first game of the 2024/25 Premier League season. In the past Fulham have historically taken the Carabao Cup as an opportunity to give starts to rotation players and youth academy prospects a chance to impress. Achieving a good finish domestically is the main priority for the London based club so we expect manager Marco Silva to name a less strengthened side in this match.

What’s the tip?

Our betting experts have gone with Birmingham To Win. As Fulham are likely to play with most of their reserves, we can see Chris Davies’ League One side to advance into the next round of the Carabao Cup by snatching a victory given the good form they are currently in.

What are the returns?

Through our bookmakers you can get odds as good as 4/1 via Betfred. Provided a £10 stake is placed, you could see winnings of an incredible £50.
