Birmingham vs Swansea: Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 20, 2025

Saturday features exciting matchups in the Championship, including the Birmingham vs Swansea match in the sixth round of the league.

Birmingham

Birmingham started the season well, earning 7 points from their first three games and placing themselves among the early leaders. However, they faced setbacks with consecutive away losses to Leicester (0-2) and Stoke City (0-1), resulting in a drop to the mid-table.

In the EFL Cup, Birmingham is on a three-match losing streak, losing 0-1 at home to Port Vale from League One in their latest game. The team struggles to find form and needs to turn things around, especially with a strong opponent ahead.

Swansea

Swansea began their season with a 0-1 defeat to Middlesbrough but quickly recovered, going four matches without a loss and gaining 8 points. They are currently seventh in the standings, just outside the top six.

In their previous match, they drew 2-2 at home against Hull City, conceding the equaliser in the final moments. In midweek, Swansea faced Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup, trailing 0-2 at halftime. Remarkably, they came back to win 3-2, scoring twice in stoppage time.

Probable lineups

• Birmingham: Allsopp, Cochrane, Klarer, Neumann, Laird, Gray, Peck, Iwata, Roberts, Doyle, Stansfield.
• Swansea: Vigouroux, Key, Cabango, Burgess, Tymon, Franco, Galbraith, Ronald, Yalcouye, Inoussa, Vipotnik.

H2H

The last encounters between these teams were two seasons ago, both ending in draws—1-1 and 2-2.

Prediction

Birmingham is seen as the favourite, mainly because they have yet to lose at home in the league this season. However, Swansea’s current form gives them a good chance to secure points. Expect a closely fought match that could go either way—both teams are likely to find the net.
