Birmingham City were just thrashed 1-6 by Brentford in the Carabao Cup on 25 Aug. Conceding 6 goals in a single match might make them sit deep and be more compact in this game. But in the Championship, they have drawn 2 in a row (2-2 with Bristol City and 0-0 with Sheffield United). They are still unbeaten in the league. Meanwhile, Wrexham have picked up 2 points from their first 2 matches (drawing 1-1 with Watford and Cardiff City). Their attack is not sharp enough to break down a defense that sits deep. The interesting point is that Birmingham City often score early, in the 1-15 min period, accounting for 20% of all their goals. Meanwhile, Wrexham concede late goals, in the 76-90 min period, as much as 27%. But with limited data, just 2 league matches, predicting the result requires caution. The system's angle of Birmingham City giving a 0.25 handicap still seems reasonable, because their league form looks more stable.
