Birmingham vs Newcastle Prediction
Birmingham Form
Their last three matches saw Birmingham drawing 1-1 with Wrexham, before taking out Huddersfield by 0-1, and Rotherham by 2-1. It has been a bit hit-and-miss for Birmingham but at least mostly hit, as they put four wins on the board in their previous six FA Cup matches. They didn't draw any matches, but lost twice, scoring 12 goals while conceding eight.
Newcastle Form
Their past three matches saw Newcastle beating Southampton 1-3, losing 1-2 against Fulham, and beating Arsenal by 2-0. Newcastle managed a decent return of three wins in their last six FA Cup away matches, in which they scored 11 while also conceding ten times. They also experienced zero draws and three defeats.
Newcastle are in for a win this coming Saturday, but at St Andrew's Knighthead Park we expect Birmingham to put up a fight and limit the expected defeat.
