Cambridge United will host Birmingham in an FA Cup game on Saturday. The U’s are 6th in League 2 ahead of this match while the Blues are 14th in the Championship. Will the two division gap make the difference? Let’s look at the match and make a prediction.

The home side have been beaten once in 16 games at the Abbey Stadium this season in all competitions, Oldham taking away the three points back in early September. They have 12 wins from the other 15, including a comfortable 3-0 win against Chester in the opening round of the cup.

They knocked out League 1 Stockport in the second round, winning on penalties. A clean sheet has been kept in five of their last seven at home and no team has managed to score more than once at the Abbey all season.

Birmingham have found life back in the Championship a little tougher than when running away with League 1 last season. Prior to that they had not finished better than 17th in any Championship season in the last eight.

No team in the top 20 in the Championship have picked up fewer points on the road in the league, losing four straight and six of their last seven. They have scored just eight times in those 13 away games.

Our Cambridge United vs Birmingham Prediction

Two divisions separate the sides ahead of this match but it pits a team who have been very strong at home against one who have been terrible on their travels. No team has come to the Abbey and scored more than one and given how few times Birmingham have found the net on the road this season, that may well hold up here. This is one of the games that could have a surprise result, so our Cambridge United vs Birmingham prediction is a Cambridge win.
