Birmingham v Newcastle Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Here are our Birmingham v Newcastle predictions, odds and free bet tips from our range of football betting sites ahead of the game.
Birmingham v Newcastle Match Preview
Birmingham will be targeting a huge upset when they host Newcastle in the FA Cup Fourth Round in the early Saturday evening kick-off.
Newcastle have had a memorable week, booking their place in next month’s EFL Cup Final after a 2-0 win over Arsenal in the second leg of their semi-final tie on Tyneside (4-0 on aggregate).
Despite the sizable chasm between these two sides in the football league pyramid, Birmingham are top of League One, and unbeaten in all competitions since November.
Magpies boss Eddie Howe could well ring the changes, and balancing three different competitions at this stage of the campaign can often be tricky.
St. Andrews will provide the setting for this intriguing FA Cup encounter, and Newcastle can’t afford to drop their levels if they want to progress.
Anyway, I’ve handpicked a couple of betting tips to support my Birmingham v Newcastle predictions, so let’s see what has taken my fancy.
Newcastle to make serene progress
While Newcastle had a couple of dismal results in the Premier League over the past few weeks, most notably a 4-1 reverse at home to Bournemouth, Howe’s men have recovered well.
The victory over Arsenal was impressive as Alexander Isak gave William Saliba and Gabriel a torrid time, and it was the Swede’s first-half effort that was superbly taken by Jacob Murphy after cannoning off the post.
Newcastle were at it from the off and the intensity with which they played with made life incredibly difficult for the Gunners. There was even a sly dig on the club’s social media after the game, mocking Mikel Arteta who complained about the ball following the first leg of the League Cup semi-final.
Birmingham, meanwhile, currently have a four-point cushion at the top of League One, and they had to dig in deep recently to beat Stevenage and Rotherham.
The Blues, however, have only won one of their past 15 meetings with Newcastle in all competitions (D7, L7), although they did hold Newcastle to a replay in 2017 in the third round of the FA Cup (a 1-1 draw at home).
Nevertheless, Newcastle will have the wind in their sails, and I think they will advance with little trouble. For the first of my tips, I’m going with Newcastle to win to nil which is available at 31/20 with Unibet.
Jacob Murphy to lay the foundations for victory
Jacob Murphy might not lap up the plaudits like Isak and Anthony Gordon, but he has been an ever-present feature of the first team.
A key cog, Murphy has taken his game to new heights this season in terms of output.
Indeed, five goals in all competitions and eight assists in the league only underline what he brings to the side.
As mentioned, I don’t expect Newcastle to have too many problems against Birmingham, and Murphy could well contribute.
To round off my tips, I’m leaning into the midfielder to open the scoring, and he’s trading at an inviting 17/2 with bet365 to do so.
