Birmingham City, Recent FormAfter a crushing 3-0 away loss to Leeds United, the Birmingham City squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. During that encounter they had 36% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 11 of their 21 shots on goal.
Supremo Wayne Rooney will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 7 goals they've managed to net. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Jordan James will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Birmingham City's last 6 league games.
Swansea City, Recent FormSwansea City will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against West Bromwich Albion. Their share of possession in that meeting was 42%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. West Bromwich Albion had 10 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Manager Alan Sheehan will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
When playing at home against The Swans, Birmingham have scored at least one goal for 4 games in succession.
In the last 7 league meetings between these sides, Birmingham have shown they are a tough nut to crack, going unbeaten against Swansea in all 7 matches.
Scott Hogan will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Birmingham against Swansea in this one, having netted 3 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
