📊 Form Guide

Cambridge United

DWLWLL

Cambridge United will be wanting a better result here following the 2-1 League One defeat last time out to Burton Albion.

The only name on the scoresheet from Cambridge United was Elias Kachunga (84'). Jón Daði Böðvarsson (48') and Dylan Williams (93') scored for Burton Albion.

It has been seldom in recent games that Cambridge United have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Cambridge United have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 8 goals on the way.

Going into this contest, Cambridge United have not won at home in their last 6 matches in the league. Things will have to change soon.

Birmingham City

WLDWWW 📈

Birmingham City will go into the match following a 4-0 League One win to defeat Mansfield Town in their previous outing.

For Birmingham City, goals were scored by Keshi Anderson (24'), Willum Þór Willumsson (39'), Kieran Dowell (50') and Tomoki Iwata (57').

A series of resolute performances by the Birmingham City defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their last 6 fixtures overall. In that period, their own attack force has managed to score 9. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, however.

📋 Team News: Cambridge United

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the sole fitness concern for the Cambridge United manager Neil Harris to be concerned with from an otherwise complete squad. Shayne Lavery (Hamstring injury) will miss out.

🗞️ Team News: Birmingham City

Birmingham City manager Chris Davies has a number of players out of action. Ethan Laird (Hamstring injury), Seung-ho Paik (unknown injury) and Lee Buchanan (Knee injury) miss out here.

🔮 Prediction

Cambridge United will surely be able to put one past this Birmingham City lineup, however a single goal may not quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’ve gone for a close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Birmingham City when all is said and done. It’s a very tough call.
