Birmingham vs Leeds Predictions

• Birmingham are unbeaten in their last 11 home matches.
• Leeds have only won twice away from home this season.
• Both these sides have played out three 1-1 draws in their last seven respective home and away games.

Blues can take Leeds past 90 minutes

An eight-game unbeaten run has pushed Birmingham into play-off contention in the Championship, but now their attention turns towards the FA Cup as they host a Leeds side also hoping to avoid a season in the second tier next year.

The Blues are heavy underdogs, but they have not lost a game at St Andrew’s since October and, while Leeds may be facing Premier League opposition, they have still only managed two wins on the road all season.

One of these came against Derby in the last round and the other was at the Championship-bound Wolves, but Birmingham look good value to put in a good showing and avoid defeat in normal time.

Five of the Whites’ last seven away games have ended all square and three of these ended 1-1. Birmingham have also played out five stalemates in their last seven at home, and have matched Leeds’ three 1-1 affairs in this period, making that an excellent correct score prediction.
