- Venue: St Andrew's Stadium (Birmingham)
On Monday evening, Birmingham U21 and Leeds U21 will face off in the Premier League Cup at St Andrew´s Stadium.
Birmingham U21 are competing in the Professional Development League. Last year, they reached the Playoffs Finals but lost to Sheffield United U21 2:0. However, this year, Birgmingham U21 are having a terrible season, as they are in ninth place with just ten points in 11 rounds. Currently, they are 13 points away from the Playoffs, and as the season progresses, they are only looking worse and worse and will have a super challenging task against Leeds U21.
Leeds U21, on the other hand, are playing against better competition in the Premier League 2. Last year, they were one of the weaker teams in the competition, but this season, they are looking much better. They are in 15th place (out of 26 teams) with 12 points in eight rounds. Right now, they are in the playoff spots, and unlike Birmingham U21, Leeds U21 are in superb form.
Birmingham U21 vs Leeds U21 pick: Leeds U21 to win and cover the -1 AH spread
Birmingham U21 are in terrible form, winning just one point in the last five games! That draw (2:2) was only because Barnsley U21 received a red card. If it weren't for that, they would most likely be on a five-game losing streak. Their defense has been atrocious during that stretch, allowing 18 goals - 3.6 per game.
Leeds U21, meanwhile, won six out of the last seven games and have won four straight away from home. Also, Leeds U21 easily beat Stockport U21 (3:1) in the Premier League Cup, while Birmingham U21 was totally outplayed by the same team 4:1. Since these have never faced off, those results can give us a good perspective about the difference in strength between these two teams.
Considering all the above, Leeds U21 to win and cover the -1 AH spread looks like the best option for the upcoming tie.
Birmingham City U21 team news
After a 2:2 draw against Barnsley U21, coach Steve Spooner spoke to the media. He was frustrated because his team did not convert goalscoring chances into three points, saying they had numerous chances that had not gone in. "Performance-wise, we have done well to craft these chances against a side with multiple older, first-team lads," the coach added.
