Birmingham City Preview – Can Birmingham end slump?
A 1-0 defeat away from home at Craven Cottage condemned Birmingham City to a third defeat in five matches in the Championship and also extended their winless run in the second tier to a worrying nine matches as The Blues seek a way out of their current slump in form.
Matters haven’t been helped by the announcement from their current manager, Pep Clotet, that he’ll be leaving the club after the season ends, nor the recent confirmation that young starlet, Jude Bellingham, will be leaving the club to go to German Bundesliga side, Borussia Dortmund.
Birmingham have also been involved in a number of draws of late as the hosts have drawn six of these last nine matches, while an overall home record of 6-6-8 30/35 carries no guarantees of a home win here; however, Birmingham are capable of scoring and conceding in equal measure and this is indicated by the fact that 14 of Birmingham’s 20 matches at home have seen both teams score.
Swansea City Preview – Can Swansea maintain play-off hopes?
An encouraging 2-1 home win against Sheffield Wednesday on the weekend in the Championship helped maintain Swansea City’s interest in a possible top six finish and a place in the play-offs as the visitors seek to stake a late claim in joining Welsh rivals, Cardiff City, in the top six.
Swansea have put together some decent displays of late as the visitors have suffered just one defeat out of their last six matches which includes an earlier 3-0 win away from home at The Riverside Stadium against relegation-threatened Middlesbrough.
Indeed, Swansea City have made themselves a difficult team to beat away from home in recent times as The Swans have lost just one of their last six on their travels amidst an overall away record which stands at a stubborn looking 6-10-4 26/26, but they too will be up against a similarly stubborn Birmingham outfit too.
Goals could feature here though as 12 of Swansea’s 20 away matches have also seen both teams score.
