Prediction: 1-1
Southampton
Birmingham City will look to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Ipswich Town when they take on Southampton on Matchday 35. The Blues are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home ground in all competitions, but they will have a mountain to climb in Saturday’s encounter. Ivan Sunjic is pushing for a start, while all Alex Pritchard, Alfie Chang, and George Hall remain in the recovery room.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to move closer to the automatic promotion berth. As Southampton were not at their sharpest in back-to-back defeats to Hull City and Millwall, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. In their last meeting at St. Andrew’s Stadium the two teams shared the spoils and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Both Ross Stewart and Juan Larios are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
