Last season, "Southampton" was relegated from the Premier League and had to descend into the Championship. Over the last five matches, the team has overcome three rivals. In the 9th round, they defeated "Leeds" with a two-goal advantage. In the 10th round, they overcame "Stoke City", scoring the only goal of the match. In the 11th round, they squared off with "Rotherham", having scored and conceded one goal each. In the 12th round, they claimed victory over "Hull" with a narrow advantage. In the 13th, they ended up in a draw against "Preston" (2:2).

Over the last five games, the club has claimed only two victories. In the 9th round, they conceded two unanswered goals from "Norwich". In the 10th round, they defeated "Huddersfield" with a score of (4:1). In the 11th round, they claimed victory with a two-goal advantage over "West Bromwich". In the 12th round, they lost to "Middlesbrough", conceding the only goal of the entire match. In the 13th round, they conceded two unanswered goals from "Hull".

Head-to-Head Meetings

Out of the last 5 outings of these teams, "Southampton" twice managed to emerge victorious. "Birmingham" has won twice. In their last encounter, the teams ended in a draw, failing to score a single goal.

Forecast

The options here are not many. "Birmingham" seems to be on shaky ground. But "Southampton" is in good form. Therefore, I suggest putting faith in the host's success and betting on the host's victory. You can also place a bet on total goals over 2.5.
