Our prediction for this Championship match:
Birmingham City will be looking to put an end to their three-game losing run in all competitions when they face Swansea City on Matchday 6. The Blues have suffered a dip in form, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the South Wales outfit at their St. Andrew’s Stadium. Both Lee Buchanan and Scott Wright are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Swans, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous seven games in all competitions. As Birmingham do not seem to be at the top of their game, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The two teams have shared the spoils in four of their last five meetings in the English second tier, which definitely goes in favour of our betting prediction.
Highlighted Team (Birmingham City):
Birmingham City are a club located in the city of Birmingham, England. Birmingham City were founded in 1875 as Small Heath Alliance, but the club’s named was changed to Small Heath in 1888. 17 years later they became Birmingham and in 1943 they finally changed their name to Birmingham City.
The Blues welcome their rivals at St. Andrew’s, the stadium that was opened in 1906. Birmingham City compete in the Championship and their fiercest rivals are WBA and Aston Villa. The Blues made it to the FA Cup final twice, but they have yet to win the prestigious trophy. In 1931 they were beaten by their local rivals WBA in the title game (1-2), whilst in 1956 they were outplayed by Manchester City in the title game.
The colour of Birmingham’s home kit is blue with white stripe. Trevor Francis, Gil Merrick, Bob Latchford, Jeff Hall, Alex Govan, Joe Bradford and Christophe Dugarry are notable footballers who played for the St. Andrew’s outfit in the past.
