Birmingham City vs West Ham United

Premier League, England

Date: Saturday, 12 December, 2009

Stadium: St Andrews Stadium

Birmingham climbed to the top part of the table with the 3:2 win at Wigan and the Blues thus extended their unbeaten run to six games. West Ham, on the other hand, remained just outside the bottom three as they were hammered at home by Manchester United with even Gianfranco Zola admitting his side are now very much in the survival battle.Alex McLeish’s team had a slow start to the season as they needed some time to adapt to the new surroundings having had just returned to the top flight, but the Blues managed to raise their form and are playing great football at the moment. They picked up 14 points from last 6 games and that helped them move further away from the dangerous zone. The players are obviously full of confidence after coming from behind to beat Wigan away last weekend and we have no doubts they will try and beat West Ham as well. With the Hammers scoring and conceding quite a few goals lately, our advice is to back .Alex McLeish has no fresh injury worries and he is set to field the same team that started the last two league games. It will be tough for other players to break into the starting line-up now that the Blues are playing so well and in all fairness, the boss has no reason to change anything, especially since Phillps, Parnaby, O’Connor, Tainio, Taylor and Murphy remain sidelined. Impressive Ecuadorian striker Christian Benitez is slowly finding his pace in the Premiership and we expect to see more goals coming from him. Considering he scored one against Wigan, we see a good value in backing . The Hammers had high hopes for this season after they came very close to the European qualification last term but they found themselves sitting at the wrong end of the Premiership table after 15 rounds. Even Gianfranco Zola admitted his side were effectively in the relegation race after the heavy defeat to Manchester United and they now desperately need a couple of good results in a row in order to escape the dangerous zone. While poor defensive record is to blame for the disappointing results, it is interesting that the Hammers keep scoring goals even without their top scorer Carlton Cole. Therefore, you should know .The injury worries are mounting for Gianfranco Zola with Zavon Hines picking up an injury that will sideline him for around a month. Robert Green is expected to recover from illness and take his place between the sticks, but Behrami and Cole remain sidelined. Mark Noble and Luis Jimenez should be in contention for this match but captain Matthew Upson remain an injury doubt. Boosted by the great run of results Birmingham are looking to win this game and thus cement their good league position, while West Ham are aware they need to score at least a couple of goals in order to win the game since their defence has been utterly disappointing lately. Therefore, we recommend betting on over 2.5 goals. Goal’s highlights, results and more will be on site, as soon as posible.. stay tuned.
