Birmingham - Swansea

Birmingham City enter matchday 15 of the Championship riding a wave of momentum, having secured back-to-back victories against Lincoln City and Millwall. Their recent form has been defined by a clinical attacking edge, highlighted by a commanding 3-0 win over Queens Park Rangers last month. Conversely, Swansea City arrive at St Andrew's Knighthead Park looking to regain stability following a difficult 3-1 defeat to Portsmouth. Their season has been marked by inconsistency, swinging between emphatic wins like their 4-0 success against Blackburn Rovers and heavy losses, including a recent setback at Queens Park Rangers.

The two sides last met on 8 August 2026, when Birmingham City claimed a 1-0 victory in the EFL Cup. As the hosts prepare their expected XI, including Jay Stansfield and Max Bird, they must contend with the absence of August Priske. Swansea City, meanwhile, will be without Stephen Welsh and Moussa Kounfolo Yeo as they aim to disrupt the home side's rhythm.
