Prediction: 1-1
Birmingham City
Ewood Park will host Saturday’s FA Cup game between Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City, the two Championship sides. The Riversiders did well to shock Norwich City in round 3, but they have been anything but impressive in the league of late, with the team suffering a heavy 4-0 loss to Rotherham, while sharing the spoils with Bristol City. Daniel Ayala is banned for the match, while both Callum Brittain and Sam Barnes remain in the recovery room.
Meanwhile, the Blues failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Preston at the weekend, but given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. You should bear in mind that 17 goals in total have been netted in the previous four encounters between the two sides. Speaking of the away team, both Harlee Dean and Przemyslaw Placheta are sidelined with injuries.
