Hull vs Birmingham Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 6th January 2024

Hull come up against visiting side Birmingham in a FA Cup fixture this coming Saturday at The MKM Stadium.

We are bound to see an exciting game this coming Saturday as both Hull and Birmingham are looking to add some much-needed points to their respective accounts.

Hull go into their next FA Cup match, scoring a humble average of 1.3 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 13 times, while conceding 17. That amounts to an average of 1.7 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Birmingham are currently not the most scoring team in the FA Cup, as they only found the back of the net eight times in ten matches. This is an average of just 0.8 goals a game in which they conceded 14 times, an average of 1.4 per game. They managed one clean sheets in these.

Having never shared a season in the FA Cup in recent past, this is the first time Hull comes up against Birmingham in this context.

Hull vs Birmingham Prediction

Hull Form

Hull are currently performing inconsistently, as they lost against Sunderland by a 0-1 score, before winning 3-2 against Blackburn. They were back on the losing side in a 3-1 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday. Hull won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the FA Cup, while also drawing zero. They suffered three defeats, while they scored nine and conceded eight goals.

Birmingham Form

Birmingham were only able to take one point from their past three games. They came up short in a 1-3 defeat against Stoke before drawing 0-0 with Bristol City. They were defeated once again, when Leeds ran out 3-0 winners. Birmingham managed to win just once in their past six away games in the FA Cup. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring nine time and letting in four.

Birmingham and Hull seem to find it tough getting their defensively lines in order, as they both concede too many goals. We hope the trend continues on Saturday, as we aim for both teams to score.
