A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: Championship
Venue: St Andrews
Saturday 18th October 2025, 1500hrs (GMT)
Birmingham City headed into the international break on the back of two draws on the trot as The Blues gained points in stalemates with Sheffield Wednesday and Wrexham respectively, and Chris Davies’ side will now be keen to return to Championship action with all three points when they take on Hull City at St Andrews on Saturday afternoon.
Despite picking up a recent 1-0 home win against Swansea City, the west midlands hosts have managed to collect just this singular win from their last seven matches in all competitions including being handed four defeats in the process.
Three of these four defeats were in the Championship but it’s worth noting that all three of these second tier losses were inflicted upon Birmingham City on their travels where they have registered just one win to date but The Blues still remain unbeaten on home soil so far in this campaign.
Hull City, like their upcoming hosts, have also picked up three wins, three draws and also three defeats within their opening nine games of this season’s Championship campaign and having registered mixed results in recent times, the visitors’ prospects of success at St Andrews look to hang in the balance.
But dig a little deeper and you find that all three of The Tigers’ wins so far in the Championship have been achieved on home soil at their MKM Stadium with victories gained over the likes of Oxford United, Southampton and Sheffield United respectively.
However, Hull City’s results away from home have left a lot to be desired as Sergej Jakirović’s side sit bottom of the away form table with a record of 0-2-2 5/8 so far this term.
The Betting Verdict
Birmingham City have lost just twice in their last eight meetings at home against Hull City and The Blues look to hold a slight edge in this upcoming encounter as well.
The Pick :
Birmingham City 2-1 Hull City
