Over 2.5 goals @ 4/5

Wrexham are the early pacesetters in League 1 as they’re currently sat top of the table heading into Monday’s clash.

The visitors are going for a third-straight promotion in as many seasons and the Blues are looking for an immediate return to the second tier, and this game may prove to be a crucial clash in the battle for League 1 glory.

Both sides are currently unbeaten as Wrexham have 13 points from a possible 15, and Birmingham have 10 from a possible 12. The visitors have scored 11 goals in total in their five league games, while Blues have eight goals in their four.

Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in three of Wrexham’s league games and in Birmingham’s last three, so I think this bet looks likely to land on Monday night.

Alfie May to score first @ 4/1

Birmingham forward Alfie May leads the League 1 scoring charts and has scored in all four of his side’s games so far, and he looks the standout pick to break the deadlock on Monday.

May has been a very smart signing by the hosts and he’s carried on his great goal-scoring form from last season at Charlton at St. Andrew’s.
