Wolves vs Birmingham Money Back Special With Ladbrokes

Betting tip published on 18 Jan 2012 from Free Bets Blog


FA Cup third round replay: Wolves v Birmingham:- Wednesday 18th January (ITV 1, 8pm)

The West Midlands rivals lock horns once again tonight as they battle it out at Molineux for a place in the FA Cup fourth round. If the team you back wins on penalties in Ladbrokes will refund your losing 90 minutes match bet. Premier League side Wolves go into the game as the evens favourites, while Championship outfit Birmingham can be backed at 11/4, with a draw priced at 12/5.

When these sides met at St Andrew’s the honours were shared after an uninspiring goalless draw. Since that fixture Birmingham have recorded a 6-0 win at Millwall, while Wolves earned a credible draw away to high-flying Tottenham. While Wolves’ main focus for the season is preserving their Premier League status, Birmingham are aiming to get back into the top flight at the first time of asking. This replay definitely comes as a distraction but due to the rivalry both club’s will be gunning for the win, with the winners travelling to Sheffield United in the next round.

With in-form striker Steven Fletcher expected to be rested, Kevin Doyle at 9/2 and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake at 11/2 could prove to be good bets to open the scoring. Birmingham’s Marlon King is priced at 7/1 to score first, while Nenad Milijas and Nikola Žigic have both been handed odds of 8/1. If the score is still level towards the end of the match then it would come as no surprise to see Birmingham sneak a last gasp winner. Chris Houghton’s men have scored a goal in the 89th minute or later in four of their last five matches and you wouldn’t bet against them doing that tonight.

Wolves are without a win in eight games in all competitions and with five draws in their last six matches you can see tonight’s encounter going the same way. A 1-1 draw is a tempting bet at 6/1, while a 2-1 Wolves win is available at 8/1. Birmingham can be backed at 10/1 to come away with a narrow 1-0 win.
