Swansea City vs Birmingham City prediction
This should be an entertaining encounter against two ambitious clubs wanting to lay down a marker ahead of the new Championship season. Swansea City boast home advantage, whilst Birmingham City boast a big wallet and have utilised sign to bring in the likes of Luis Vasquez and Jhon Solis on a permanent deal. Both make the Blues extremely dangerous offensively, but Swansea will deploy an attacking playstyle themselves at home.
With this being a League Cup game, we are likely to see the shackles loosened on both sides with attack prioritised over defence and that should lead to plenty of chances at both ends. Therefore, consider backing over 2.5 goals scored within the 90 minutes regardless of the final outcome.
Swansea City vs Birmingham City tip: Over 2.5 goals
