Week 9 brings us a match on Sep 10th, where Birmingham City hosts Swansea City in a clash of the Championship. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. 21st placed Birmingham City is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Preston North End. Maxime Colin struck first for Birmingham City in the 16th minute on a feed from Jordan Graham, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Preston North End couldn’t muster any offence and Birmingham City ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while in their last match, 19th placed Swansea City, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Queens Park Rangers. Joel Piroe scored the first goal for Swansea City in the 21st minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Queens Park Rangers couldn’t manage to score, and Swansea City took the shutout win. Swansea City is looking for direction having 2 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Birmingham City won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Joel Piroe has been the most prolific scorer on Swansea City in his last five matches with 3 goals. Hall and Scott Hogan are the top scorers for Birmingham City in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
