Birmingham v Newcastle Preview

Birmingham’s Form

Birmingham had a turbulent 23/24 season running through seven different managerial reigns for a multitude of reasons: Eustace, Rooney, Spooner, Mowbray, Venus, Rowett and Mowbray again. It’s rather remarkable with such managerial change that they still amassed 50 points only missing out on survival due to them having 1 less point than Plymouth.

Despite last season, the Birmingham board and investors put considerable investment into the club in the off-season so were expected to have an immediate return to the Championship. It's gone as planned since with them currently leading League 1 with points and games in hand over those around them while also safely navigating the first three rounds of the FA Cup.

Newcastle’s Form

Since the Saudi takeover, the rise in the club's stature has been constant albeit slower than City’s previous rise (due to PSR Rules). Last season they were consistent across competitions being competitive in the Champions League “Group of Death” finishing 7th in the league and reaching the Quarter-Finals in both the EFL and FA Cup.

This season was always going to be interesting to assess whether they would become a more considerable force domestically in the absence of European commitments. That’s duly transpired, currently 6th in the Premier League and into the EFL Cup final the Saudi success story seems to be only a case of when and not if in the coming months and years.

Key Players To Watch

Jay Stansfield – Birmingham

Capped at multiple underage levels for England, Stansfield (22) first appeared on loan for Birmingham last season in the Championship and despite their relegation, he was an impressive performer scoring 12 times in 43 games.

Stansfield is a well-rounded attacker with both a physical presence to hold up the ball and bring others into the game as well as the technical skill to cause opponents trouble on his own.

This season he has 18 goals and 1 assist in 27 games across all competitions. He can be gotten at 8/1 to score first or at 5/2 to score at any time.

Alexander Isak – Newcastle

The “New Zlatan” (25) is one of the most potent finishers in the Premier League and as his nickname suggests also has the skill and holding-the-ball-up ability of his legendary compatriot.

This season he has continued his flying form from last year with 19 goals and 5 assists in 27 games. He is 5/2 to score first in this game and 4/6 to score anytime.

Birmingham v Newcastle Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Birmingham 0-3 Newcastle

Birmingham are undergoing a flying unbeaten run and head into this game full of confidence with little pressure on them to succeed.

Newcastle were excellent midweek against Arsenal and it’ll be interesting to see if they rotate from that game, but no matter the side they put out, they should be far too good for Birmingham.

For me, Newcastle win with at least a goal to spare.

Best Bet: Newcastle -1 @ 11/8
