Southampton vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting Tips (28 October)

How to realize the difficulty/density of the Championship? Just take a look at the clash between Southampton and Birmingham this Saturday October 28. A total of seven places separate the two teams but the difference in accounting is only 3 points! Suffice it to say that the battle for final victory promises to be exciting from the start. One thing is certain, the Saints will start the game with a head start because positive results have been coming for many weeks, as evidenced by the draw obtained at Preston last weekend. Solid at home for 180 minutes 4 points out of 6 possible, the group coached by Russell Martin knows that success is mandatory in order to pursue this dream of a return to the elite! Get back in the race for the playoffs. This is the main objective of the men led by Wayne Rooney, returning to English fields after a difficult American experience.

For this, the Blues will have to offer a reaction to their supporters as soon as possible because the last two outings have not reassured anyone within the club. Defeated by the duo Hull City - Birmingham, the blues and whites know that a third setback in a row risks starting a period of crisis at this emblematic club of the Kingdom. With no goals scored during the series mentioned above, we can expect another disappointment from today's visitors.

Somewhat incredibly, Birmingham have both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes in 18 of their most recent 18 trips at this level, so following them around the country has proven pretty entertaining. Eight of the last ten Southampton matches in the Championship have also served up goals at both ends of the pitch, meaning that there is every reason to expect more of the same.
