Birmingham City will be aiming to maintain their positive momentum when they take on Southampton after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wrexham. Phil Neumann was the hero of the occasion, scoring both goals, while Demarai Gray is doubtful after picking up a knock at the weekend. Patrick Roberts could step in should the forward miss out. Birmingham have been difficult to beat lately, but their home defence remains a concern, with the Blues conceding an average of 2.40 goals per game in their last five at home.
Southampton, meanwhile, arrive in excellent form after recording back-to-back wins over Stoke City (3-1) and Millwall (5-1). The Saints have won seven of their last 10 matches and are averaging an impressive 2.00 goals per game during that spell. They are likely to maintain their attacking approach, with summer signing set to continue leading the line after scoring his fourth goal of the season against Millwall. James Ward-Prowse is also pushing for a starting berth. The H2H record further points towards an entertaining encounter, with BTTS landing in seven of the previous nine meetings.
As Southampton are in outstanding form and have won seven of their last 10, our main prediction firmly points toward Away Win. Additionally, Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals markets seem appealing (Six of the last nine H2H meetings produced at least three goals).
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 1 September 2026 at 20:00.
