Coral shares its predictions for today's Birmingham vs Barcelona in a pre-season friendly, with our 7/4 bet builder included.
Birmingham have won each of their five friendly matches so far, but victories have come against Crewe, Northampton and Burton Albion, amongst others. The match against Barcelona is their biggest test of this pre-season campaign so far. This is only Barcelona's second friendly match so far, so could a slightly less rusty Birmingham side shock the world and beat the multi-time Champions League winners?

Coral shares its Birmingham vs Barcelona bet builder ahead of the pre-season friendly, which is coming in at 7/4.
Barcelona double chance - 1/5
Both teams to score - 4/9
Over 3.5 goals - 1/1
Pre-season friendlies can go either way, but it's hard to see a world where Barcelona's quality doesn't see them prevail. Given Birmingham are further along in their preparations for the new season, and have more regulars to chose from due to the World Cup, we're covering our backs with a 'double chance' tip coming in if the game ends in a draw.
The Birmingham vs Barcelona odds have the chances of a draw at more than 50%, and we can see why. The Blues have scored in each of their pre-season matches, finding the back of the net 11 times, whilst Barcelona conceded against weaker opposition in CE Europa in their first warm-up game.
Of the six friendlies that Birmingham and Barcelona have played between them this month, 18 goals have been scored, an average of three per game. With the St Andrews crowd expected to be lively as Birmingham welcome one of the most decorated sides in the game, we expect there to be goals.
