A Championship meeting between Birmingham (14th, 2 pts) and Southampton (10th, 3 pts). Two sides with their own objectives and plenty to play for.
Birmingham will be looking to make home advantage count (W0 D1 L0 at home). Southampton's away record reads W0 D0 L1. The visitors need to start well or this could get away from them. Birmingham's home form is particularly impressive right now. They're performing above their season average on their own turf. Southampton could be in for a similar cool-off. 2.0 goals a game against chance quality worth only 1.8. Hot finishing has been covering for the fact they aren't creating that much.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Birmingham create chances worth 1.2 a game (and give up chances worth 1.2), leaving them 0.0 a game on the balance. Southampton create 1.8 (giving up 1.2) for a balance of +0.5. On the quality of chances, Southampton look the stronger side. they create more and give up less. Southampton are also scoring more than their chances suggest (2.0 goals vs chance quality of 1.8). Both runs could cool off at once.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Birmingham are scoring 1.0 a game (2.0 of those at home) and Southampton manage 2.0 (1.0 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 49%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 47%.
Both teams scoring is the pattern. It happens in 65% of Birmingham's home games and 91% of Southampton's away matches.
Neither side has much to play for in the grand scheme. no European places within reach and relegation isn't a concern. That can make for an unpredictable game with less pressure on both sides.
Southampton have goals in them (2.0 per game) but their record at the back (1.5 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
In the last 6 meetings: Birmingham have won 0, Southampton 4, with 2 draws. These fixtures average 3.7 goals per game. 4 of the last 6 produced 3+ goals. Both teams have scored in most of their recent meetings, so there's a good chance both find the net again. Recent results: Birmingham 1-1 Southampton, Southampton 3-1 Birmingham, Birmingham 3-4 Southampton.
