Birmingham vs Newcastle Prediction & Tips
Birmingham confidently lead the Premier League standings, ahead of second-placed Wycombe Wanderers by four points and with two games in hand. They are unbeaten since 26 November, extending their unbeaten run to 16 matches (13 wins and 3 draws).
Birmingham boast the best defence in the league, conceding just 19 goals, while scoring 46 goals. In their 13 home games, they have not lost once, winning 10 times. In their last meeting, Birmingham beat Rotherham 2-1 at home. In the previous round of the FA Cup, Birmingham beat Lincoln 2-1 at home.
On the other hand, Newcastle have not been able to maintain the excellent pace they had set since mid-December, when the team seemed to be in the race for the top places after nine consecutive wins. However, in the middle of January, Newcastle suffered a painful defeat against Bournemouth at St. James Park (1-4), which was a reality check for the team.
Following that defeat, Newcastle beat Southampton 3-1 at home, but last weekend they lost again at home to Fulham 1-2, although it was Fulham who opened the scoring. Newcastle are currently sixth in the Premier League standings, trailing Manchester City on goal difference. On Wednesday, Newcastle defeated Arsenal to advance to the League Cup final.
