Birmingham City vs Swansea City: Top free betting tips
Our Birmingham City vs Swansea City prediction is for a tight affair with Birmingham having recently appointed a well-known face in Tony Mowbray. Can the Blues earn all three points in Mowbray's first match in charge?
The Blues sit just outside of the relegation zone, six points above Sheffield Wednesday. A win here would help their case for surviving a potential relegation battle. Swansea are not faring much better but has recently also appointed a new manager in Luke Williams who had done an excellent job with League Two promotion hopefuls Notts County.
Total goals prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Two of Birmingham's previous three games had finished with 2.5 goals or less scored while Swansea's previous two matches had seen 2.5 or less scored. The recent head-to-head meeting also saw 2.5 goals or less scored with the match ending 1-1. That is why we are predicting under 2.5 goals for Birmingham City vs Swansea City.
Both teams to score prediction: Yes
Our next Birmingham City vs Swansea City prediction sees us stay in the goal markets but this time we have gone with both teams to find the back of the net. The previous three head-to-head meetings saw both teams find the back of the net with it happening in four of the previous five meetings. Birmingham should look like a different side under Tony Mowbray so we believe their run of failing to score in their last two matches will come to an end.
Correct score prediction: 1-1 Draw
In our final Birmingham City vs Swansea City prediction, we are predicting the match to end 1-1. Birmingham has drawn three of their previous five matches in all competitions with Swansea drawing one of their last three. With this being Mowbray's first match in charge, we could see a galvanised squad but this Swansea City will be tricky to play against.
