Leicester vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup

Prediction published on 25/01/2024, 10:00 by Ian John | Modified on 27/01/2024 at 02:00 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.

Our Leicester vs Birmingham Prediction

What can we make of the Leicester v Birmingham FA Cup Clash? History suggests a Leicester win, as does recent form. Recent form also suggests that there is a strong possibility both teams will find the net in the game, although the visitors may struggle to score more than the one goal. In truth, I can't see that being enough to get the better of the Foxes here so our prediction for the Leicester v Birmingham City FA Cup 4th Round tie therefore is for the game to see over 2.5 goals and for both teams to find the net, although ultimately, I would expect a relatively comfortable Leicester victory to follow that.

Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals
