Leicester vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Ian John | in FA Cup Prediction
Championship leaders Leicester City host 20th placed Birmingham City in an FA Cup Fourth Round clash at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Foxes despatched Championship opposition in the third round, when they defeated Millwall 3-2 at the New Den, Casadei, Ricardo and Tom Cannon scoring the goals. Birmingham held Hull City to a 1-1 draw in their first FA Cup Third Round tie and then earned a 2-1 comeback win in the replay thanks to second half goals from Jay Stansfield and Koji Miyoshi.
While their FA Cup success in the last round may be similar, their performances across the season are markedly different. Leicester have had an outstanding season so far and sit comfortably top of the Championship with a seven point lead over Ipswich Town in second. They have won 21 games in the league, four more than the next best record in the division and they have already beaten today's opponents in the league when securing a 3-2 win back in December in the game at St. Andrews. Ex-Manchester City coach Enzo Maresca has done a fine job with the Foxes who seem set for a quick return to the Premier League. Leicester lost four FA Cup Finals over many years until their first ever FA Cup Final success in May 2021.
In contrast, it has been a turbulent season at Birmingham City. the two-time FA Cup beaten finalists have struggled in the league and and are already on to their fourth manager this season. John Eustace was fired in October and Wayne Rooney came in for an ill-fated three-month spell. When Rooney was sacked, Steve Spooner was caretaker boss for one game, before Tony Mowbray took over the club earlier this month. Under Mowbray, the Blues have won two games and lost one but their away form is the fourth-worst in the Championship, as they have picked up just 11 points on the road. It certainly looks a tough ask for the visitors to earn anything from their cross-midlands trip to Leicester.
