Brentford vs Birmingham (Asian Handicap) prediction

Whenever Brentford are involved there are usually goals but worryingly for them, too many of them have been at the wrong end. They have scored and concded in all but one of their Championship games so far and Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday meant it was the 14th Championship game in a row at Griffin Park which has had 3 or more goals in it. The goals have dried up a little for Birmingham in recent weeks with successive home defeats against Nottingham Forest and Rotherham. However they've not lost any of their last 5 away matches in the league and caused a fair few problems for Premier League city rivals Aston Villa in the Capital One Cup last week despite sinking to a 1-0 defeat. This should be an open game and one that both sides will believe they can win. Brentford's naturally attacking persuasion should leave gaps at the back which Birmingham are well capable of exploiting on the break with the pace of the likes of Demarai Gray and Clayton Donaldson. Birmingham have been the more impressive side this season though and their current form is probably nothing more than a blip.
