Birmingham vs Ipswich: 100/1 Mega Bet Builder Tip

Newly promoted Birmingham City play host to an Ipswich Town side that suffered relegation from the Premier League last season and we're bringing you our best Bet Builder tip for Friday's season opener.

Both teams head into matchday one of the 2025/26 Championship campaign amongst the favourites to earn promotion to the top flight of English football, and we're expecting an entertaining 90 minutes between the pair at St Andrew's.

The Tractor Boys haven't managed to win any of their last seven away games against Birmingham, with the pair playing out a 2-2 draw the last time they clashed at St Andrew's in November 2023.

Over 2.5 Goals

At least three goals were scored in 20 of Birmingham's 46 outings in League One last season, while 22 of Ipswich's league games witnessed over 2.5 goals.

Jay Stansfield to Score Anytime

Demarai Gray to be Fouled 3+ Times
