REVIEW Blackburn Rovers vs Birmingham
IDDAAKOLIK POST-MATCH REVIEW

Birmingham nicked a narrow win over Blackburn Rovers 2-1 away from home. Level at 0-0 at half-time, the winner was decided in the second half.

The model refused to pick a side here (38% / 28% / 34%); Birmingham picked one for it.

No strong lean on goals — the model had over 2.5 at 47% and both teams to score at 51%, coin-flips both. The market went further still — the under-2.5 price closed at 1.60, about 62%.

By the numbers, Birmingham saw more of the ball, 59% to 41%, shots finished 5-8, expected goals 0.43 to 2.00 — on chances created, Birmingham won this by more than the scoreboard admits.

The head-to-head backdrop: across their last 6 meetings in our records, Blackburn Rovers had the better of it with 3 wins, 1 drawn. Scoring in those meetings ran 1.50 a game for Blackburn Rovers against 1.17 for Birmingham.
