Leicester vs Birmingham Preview and Prediction
The Foxes earned a place in round four of the FA Cup after beating Millwall 3-2 and will now go head-to-head with fellow Championship side, Birmingham.
Enzo Maresca has enjoyed a successful period since taking over from Brendan Rodgers, guiding Leicester to the top of England’s second division.
The 2015/16 Premier League champions were relegated from the top-flight last season and also won the FA Cup in 2021.
Their opponents, Birmingham, have endured a tough campaign so far, as the Blues sit 20th in the Championship table.
They are already on their third manager, after sacking John Eustace in October and his replacement, Wayne Rooney, only lasted 84 days before being relieved of his duties earlier this month.
Birmingham did find some relief in the third round of the FA Cup, beating Hull City 2-1 and setting up an all-Midlands tie on Saturday afternoon.
Given the situations at both clubs, we expect the home side to reign victorious and beat Birmingham by at least two goals on Saturday.
Prediction: Leicester 3-1 Birmingham
Leicester vs Birmingham Tips
- Over 3.5 Cards @ 4/9
- Leicester To Score Over 2.5 Goals @ 29/20
- Combined Odds @ 11/4
Leicester vs Birmingham Tip One: Over 3.5 Cards @ 4/9
In Leicester’s last three matches there have been a total of 15 cards, averaging five per game and this includes a red card for Foxes winger Issahaku Fatawu.
Birmingham’s last three matches have seen 10 yellow cards be dished out, as the Blues have seen six yellow cards in just two FA Cup matches.
With this in mind, we expect this match to be full of tackles, edge and possible cautions – with 4/9 being a safe price for your FA Cup bets.
Leicester vs Birmingham Tip Two: Leicester To Score Over 2.5 Goals @ 29/20
In the league meeting between these two sides, there were five goals scored as Leicester clinched a 3-2 win at St Andrews in December.
The Foxes are the highest scoring team in the Championship, finding the target 56 times in 28 matches and Birmingham have conceded 44 goals in that time.
Upon evaluation, we expect Enzo Maresca’s side to not only win the match, but also score at least three goals against a brittle Birmingham defence.
