Birmingham vs Swansea Prediction & Betting tips
Birmingham City returns to nineteenth place after two games played. It once managed to play right away and lost once. The second club from Birmingham must be creative, because it is bound by strict financial fair play rules. Swansea City won the first two league matches, but did not convince in both games.
Birmingham City:
Birmingham started the league with a 2-2 draw against Norwich City. That one point is also the only thing the team of manager Garry Monk has achieved so far. It lost, despite the smallest possible defeat, last weekend with 1-0 from Middlesbrough.
Monk: ‘The start of my team was not good. In this competition you have to be in the race right from the start. We made a lot of unnecessary mistakes, which gave Middlesbrough the chance to walk for a higher score. We were lucky that we went into the break with a 1-0 deficit. I was satisfied with the second half. We have shown character and fought for every meter. But if you catch up in an away match, you know that it’s going to be a difficult job to make up for that. ”
In Monk’s words also sounded resignation. The club can not go in terms of investments. It is bound by strict rules regarding financial fair play. This allows it to make modest expenses and especially what players rent. To be able to rent these players, players have to be let again. Gary Gardner (Aston Villa), Connor Mahoney (AFC Bournemouth) and Omar Bogle (Cardiff City) were hired. Only for left back Kristian Pedersen a transfer fee (2.5 million euro) was paid.
Swansea City:
Swansea City has started the season very well in terms of results. In Sheffield, Sheffield United won 1-2 on the first matchday. This was a flattering win. And last weekend in the home match against Preston North End, the victory (1-0) again came into being difficult.
For manager Graham Potter, only the result counted: “After the missed penalty by Oliver McBurnie and Kristoffer Nordfeldt’s exit, I thought this would be a game in which everything would go wrong. I thought that after half an hour of play, we gained a 1-0 lead. In the second half you know that Preston North End is coming, but we really showed discipline and willpower to win the lead. ”
Unexpectedly there was the Championship debut of Erwin Mulder after twenty-three minutes: “I think it’s a shame for Kristoffer that he has failed, but I hope he’s okay. I was ready to fall in and I had some important rescues. ”
