THE PREDICTION
Third-placed Swansea have had almost a fortnight to stew on their South Wales derby defeat at the hands of Cardiff last time out which has left them six point adrift of the automatic promotion places. Now off the back of two straight defeats, a trip to Birmingham represents a very difficult challenge for the Swans. The Blues are fighting for their lives down the bottom end of the table and new manager Lee Bowyer has begun his reign as boss with a win at home to Reading, followed by a loss away at Watford. Home advantage in their favour here could play a huge factor, as could the international break which has allowed Bowyer to have a good look at the squad at his disposal. Birmingham are more than capable of picking up at least a point here and should be considered draw no bet.
