Prediction: 2-1
Birmingham City
Southampton will look to stay in the Championship playoffs berth when they take on Birmingham City on Matchday 14. The Saints are determined to return to the Premier League, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to turn their dream into reality. Sekou Mara is pushing for a start, while Ryan Manning returns to the starting XI after serving his one-game ban in a 2-2 draw with Preston.
The Blues, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Middlesbrough and Hull City and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Southampton’s party at St. Mary’s Stadium. As for the away team, all Alfie Chang, Lee Buchanan, Keshi Anderson, George Hall, and Tyler Roberts miss out with injuries, while Ethan Laird faces race against the clock to bet fit for Saturday’s game. Last time out Southampton crushed Birmingham 4-1 at St. Mary’s Stadium.
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.
