Birmingham vs Swansea City Predictions

Birmingham can give Swans the blues

Birmingham have won their last three home games and they should be backed to get the win at St. Andrew’s against Swansea on Saturday.

They are second and Swansea are third, but the two sides are level on points. Both teams have won more games than they’ve lost this season, with Birmingham having seven wins and two defeats, while Swansea have eight wins and four losses.

Birmingham maintained their winning habit last time, running out 3-0 winners against Millwall in their last Championship game. Alex Cochrane opened the scoring in the first minute, with Max Bird and Jay Stansfield also on target. They have won three of the four matches in which they have been odds-on this season.

The hosts have been prolific in front of goal this term, scoring at least three times in four of their last five Championship games. They have netted an impressive 17 goals at home this season, averaging over two goals a game from seven matches.

Birmingham are in form, aiming for a third straight Championship success. They have gone ten home games unbeaten and have won six of their last eight matches, while Swansea have lost three of their last four.

Backing Swansea’s opponents during their current run of three defeats in four Championship games would have resulted in a profit of 3.35 units.

The visitors could do with turning things around. Swansea have lost three of their last four Championship games, and are on a run of two straight defeats away from home.

The visitors’ defence has been far from watertight of late, with Swansea failing to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last nine Championship games.

A 2-0 home win for Birmingham looks a decent correct-score option. Three of the last four Championship meetings between these two have produced under 2.5 goals and Birmingham have won four of their last five league games by at least two goals.
