Betting on Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn Rovers have a great opportunity to advance further in the FA Cup when they host one of the weakest teams in the current Championship and who they already beat 2-1 during matchday 17.
The Danish coach Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side are fourth in the English second division and currently occupy one of the playoff places to fight for promotion to the Premier League. However, Blackburn is not going through a good moment, losing five of their last nine official matches with three wins and one draw.
In terms of performance as locals, the historic club known as The Rose has the fourth-best record in the Championship with 27 points from nine wins and four defeats in 13 home games.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Thomas Kaminski, Joe Rankin-Costello, Domini Hyam, Scott Wharton, Harry Pickering, John Buckley, Tyler Morton, Ryan Hedges, Bradley Dack, Ben Brereton, Jack Vale.
Betting on Birmingham City
If Birmingham want to turn around a very difficult campaign, in which they are even close to the relegation places in the Championship, this Saturday’s game is a great opportunity for them.
Despite having won against Forest Green in the previous round of the FA Cup, John Eustace’s side now registers five consecutive losses in the English second division and have not won away from home for three games. In fact, in 13 games away from home, they have only managed 15 points with 12 goals scored and 17 conceded.
That low performance has them in 19th place in the standings with 32 points and just six points away from the relegation spots. That is why it is so important for them to get a good result this Saturday and get a second wind for the end of the season.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): John Ruddy, Maxime Colin, Dion Sanderson, Kevin Long, Auston Trusty, Tahith Chong, Hannibal Mejbri, Krystian Bielik, Reda Khadra, Troy Deeney, Scott Hogan.
JefeBet Prediction
Although both teams are going through difficult times, Blackburn have everything in their hands to come out on top and enter the draw for the fifth round of the FA Cup.
In addition to having a better season than Birmingham, they are playing at home against a team that has not been able to beat them in recent matches. Rovers have won five in a row against their opponents and have not lost at home against them in eight games.
Prediction: Blackburn Rovers wins 2-1
