Birmingham City look to return to winning ways after a 1-1 Boxing Day draw with Derby, but they are without key defender Christoph Klarer, who is suspended. Therefore, a 1-1 draw is on the cards at St. Andrews' Stadium. The Blues’ home form has been solid compared to their away struggles, earning 2.20 points per game at St Andrew’s, but they concede 0.80 goals per home match, highlighting some defensive resilience.
Southampton, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Oxford United. They maintain strong overall form, particularly at home, with 2.60 points per game and scoring 2.60 goals per match on average. The Saints’ away form is weaker, but they still create chances consistently, averaging 4.00 goals per game in away losses. Head-to-head, Southampton have a slight edge: 4 wins in 8 matches with Birmingham claiming 3 victories, and most encounters have seen goals, with 75% of matches over 1.5 goals and 75% BTTS.
Given Birmingham’s attacking home record and Southampton’s potential up front, BTTS is our main betting tip for this Championship encounter, alongside Over 1.5 goals and Half-Time Draw.
This Championship match will be played on Monday 29 December 2025 at 20:15.
