It’s common knowledge in the top few tiers of English football that relegated teams tend to do well in their new division. I don’t think Birmingham will change that narrative.
The Blues will be bitterly disappointed that they were relegated from the Championship last campaign, and have already made clear their intentions to bounce straight back up.
They’ve done so by bolstering their squad with a variety of quality players, and have spent a huge amount of money while doing so. They’ve brought in talented individuals like Willum Thor Willumsson and Emile Hansson, as well as a solid defender in Christoph Klarer. Not to mention an established goalscorer in Alfie May.
Spending nearly €14 million already, Birmingham have outspent 22 of 24 teams in the Championship, despite being in the division below!
Although this approach is certainly not sustainable, it sets their squad miles ahead of the rest of the league in the short term. There is simply not another club who, on paper, will be able to compete with them.
It’s for those considered reasons that our experts have predicted Birmingham will win League One in 2024/25. At odds of 11/4 on Copybet, a £10 stake will return a huge £37.50 payout should the Blues win the league.
