FA Cup First Round action is in store at the Borough Sports Ground as Sutton United of the National League host League One leaders Birmingham City. Will our prediction for this match back another FA Cup giant-killing for the Yellows, or will the Blues prevail?
Sutton United have already won in this competition, defeating Chertsey Town 3-1 on the road in the final Preliminary Round. In the National League, the team sit 12th having picked up 22 points from 16 games.
Their form heading into the game isn’t great with their 1-0 win away to Braintree Town last weekend ending a run of three straight defeats, two of which (1-0 to Gateshead and 3-1 to Oldham Athletic) came at home.
It’s a different story for Chris Davies and his Birmingham City side. The Blues are top of League One with 29 points from 12 games. Three clear of Wycombe in second. City have lost just twice in 17 games this season, winning 12 and drawing three.
City are unbeaten in their past three, winning 3-1 at Lincoln, then 2-0 at home to Bolton before a 1-1 draw at Mansfield last weekend.
With 59 places in the Pyramid separating the two teams, plus the fact Birmingham heavily invested in their squad over the summer, the data suggests that it will be the visiting Blues that start this game as the hot favourites.

Our Sutton United vs Birmingham Prediction
Our prediction for Sutton United vs. Birmingham City in the FA Cup First Round is: HT/FT - Birmingham/Birmingham.
A look at this data for this game shows that a giant-killing is not likely for the home side. A lack of form at home, a tendency to concede first against a team in great form, who scores goals in the first half in away games and who are top of their table makes this a relatively easy prediction to make. If Birmingham can grab the first goal in the first half, then this should be comfortable for the Blues.
