Manchester City Birmingham City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match puts on the field two teams that fight in different divisions of English football, but it is still expected a very balanced match with chances of goals. On one hand, Manchester City has a high quality squad, on the other, a Birmingham City that is very dangerous on the counterattack. Having said that, and taking into account all these factors, betting in favor of the "Over 3 Goals" market is a good option.

Analysis Man City

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive result, using the home advantage in their favour. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 7 conceded; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 35 goals scored and 14 conceded.

There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 21 of the last 23 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 16 out of 23 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 20 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Manchester City enters this match with a victory, by 0-2, on the trip to Manchester United, advancing in this way to the next League Cup final: the goals of the team were signed by Fernandinho and John Stones.

Analysis Birmingham

The team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses at their stadium, with 12 goals scored and 23 conceded. In their last match, for the Championship, they got a home loss against Blackburn Rovers by (0‑2). In the last 10 away matches Birmingham City has won 3, tied 5 and lost 2.

For this match, coach Aitor Karanka cannot count on Alen Halilovic, Gary Gardner, Marc Roberts and Kristian Pedersen, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Andrés Prieto, Maxime Colin, George Friend, Jake Clarke-Salter, Maikel Kieftenbeld, Jon Toral, Iván Sánchez, Ivan Šunjić, Mikel San José, Jonathan Leko, Scott Hogan.
