Swansea to Win
There is a 46% possibility that Swansea will win this game after triumphing in six of their 13 home games. On the other side, Birmingham have lost their last three road games and have not won in Swansea in four visits.
Over 2 Goals
Swansea’s 77% of home games in the Championship produced two or more goals. In the same sense, Birmingham’s 62% of away fixtures in the league also saw over two goals. Hence, there is a 70% chance for this bet to succeed.
Anytime Correct Score 1-0
Swansea managed to score first and take a 1-0 lead in six of their 13 home games. Birmingham’s recent record is much worse when it comes to conceding first as they went down by a 0-1 score in all of their previous five league matches.
Swansea City
With the 1-1 away draw at QPR, Swansea City failed to win for the second match in a row since last October. The Swans raised their points tally to 39 and are currently lying in the 12th position just three points behind a playoff spot.
Swansea’s form dropped in the last eight rounds as they picked up an average of 1.13 points per game. Manager Russell Martin’s team is averaging 1.39 points per game for the season which is 18.7% higher than what they collected in the last eight matches.
Birmingham City
Birmingham’s losing streak was extended to six in the previous round as they lost at home to Preston by 1-2. The Blues dropped to the 19th position and are now six points above the relegation zone. Birmingham lost six of their last eight matches in the Championship.
Boss John Eustace is under huge pressure as he tries to find a solution for his team’s failures. Obviously, the biggest issue is the Blues’ defense who have conceded two or more goals in each of their previous three league matches and have clean sheets in 31% of their away matches.
Considering both Swansea’s and Birmingham’s recent results, it is obvious why the bookies are favoring Swansea to win this match. The Swans have more incentive to win this match as they have a chance of finishing in the top six. To conclude, we predict Swansea to emerge as winners in this match.
Playing at home, Swansea City are averaging 1.54 goals per game and have scored in 69% of their home matches. Birmingham meanwhile conceded at least a goal in 69% of their away games. With odds of 1.38 at 1xBet, we predict Swansea to score over one goal.
Swansea’s Ryan Manning is his team’s best player so far in the current campaign and his numbers speak for themselves. The Irishman can play in all midfield positions and is considered to be a strong passer of the ball. Manning has scored three times and added four assists.
Swansea’s Liam Walsh has an Achilles Tendon issue and is out for another two weeks.
Dean and Placheta are the players on Birmingham’s injury list.
Swansea City: Benda; Latibeaudiere, Cabango, Darling, Manning; Grimes, Allen; Cooper, Fulton, Cullen; Piroe;
Birmingham City: Ruddy; Colin, Long, Sanderson; Deeney, Mejbri, Bielik, Trusty; Chong, Khadra, Hogan;
