Key Players

- Marvin Ducksch is likely to start up front for Birmingham and has two of Birmingham’s last five goals.
Betting Insights
- Swansea come into this match as slight underdogs at 2.78.
- Under 2.5 goals is available at 1.7 and could offer value given Birmingham’s away defensive record.
- Birmingham’s recent away form makes their short price less appealing.
Prediction
- Back the home team to grind out a win.
- Expect a cagey affair, making the Under 2.5 goals market a sensible secondary play.
