REF’s picks

Neither side of the match result market makes for a strong standalone wager, so backing Birmingham City or the draw on the double chance offers a much sounder entry at a better price. Tottenham have leaked a high volume of goals recently, including heavy defeats against Chelsea and London City, exposing defensive vulnerabilities that Birmingham can exploit on home turf. However, Spurs boast superior head-to-head dominance and enough attacking threat to keep this contest tight.
