Bees 6/5 Blues 47/20 Draw 9/4

With back-to-back defeats for The Bees and Birmingham City without an away win since September, it could be a nervy affair a Griffin Park in the latest 888sport Derby.

It’s Blues’ outstanding home form that’s fuelling their promotion bid, but they’ll need to improve their results on the road if they’re to reach the promised land and they may be able to do so against a Brentford side without a home win in three.

A crazy match at Blackburn last week saw all five goals scored in the first half of Bees’ 3-2 defeat, and you can get 19/5 on both teams scoring in the opening 45 here, while it’s 7/1 there’s three goals or more in the same period.

One positive for The Bees was the return to scoring form of Scott Hogan, and the big man is priced up at 37/10 to bag the opener and 7/5 to net at any time.

For the visitors, Che Adams has a respectable three goals so far this season and is 13/2 for the opener, with top scorer Lukas Jutkiewicz 13/2.

Brentford are winless in eight games against the Blues stretching back to 1993 and with no home win in three, the Bees could be stung once again on Saturday.
