Swansea vs Birmingham Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the English Championship on Saturday, 05 August 2023.
Swansea are set to host Birmingham at Swansea.com Stadium to kick off their Championship season. Swansea’s preseason thus far under their new manager has been uneven. However, they’ll want to start strong this time around after finishing 10th the previous season.
Their opponents, Birmingham, have begun the season with a number of fine preseason performances in an attempt to improve on their 17th-place position from last season.
The last time these two clubs met was in February. Birmingham managed to deliver a 4-3 win that day.
Birmingham are on a six-game unbeaten streak against this opposition. They have also won this fixture on three of those occasions.
We are counting on Birmingham to pull off a win here. They have started the season in great form heading into this one. Three of their past four matches have ended in victories.
Swansea, on the other hand, has struggled in recent weeks under their new manager. In their last five matches, they have won only twice. Two of those matches ended in defeats as well.

We expect goals in this match. In two of Swansea’s last four matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, three of Birmingham’s past four matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, the last two h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
