First Prediction for Birmingham City vs Cambridge United – Birmingham City to win – 1/4
Unexpectedly, league-leaders Birmingham City are the overarching favourites to win this contest between themselves and their opponents. Cambridge United are sat rock bottom of the League One table on 23 points after playing 29 games, whilst the Blues are at the top of the table by three points with another two games in hand over second place Wycombe Wanderers. The only game the hosts have lost in their last 18 matches was at the hands of Premier League side Newcastle United, whilst Cambridge have only won five games this entire season in the third tier. It would come as a massive shock if the U’s were to pull any sort of result out of the bag away from home.
Second Prediction for Birmingham City vs Cambridge United – Over 2.5 goals to be scored – 61/100
This clash is between one side who has the third-best goal-scoring record in the league and one side who has the third-worst defensive record in the league. Birmingham’s top-scorer Jay Stansfield has almost scored half the amount that Cambridge’s entire team have scored, showing the gulf in quality between the two sides in terms of scoring goals. On average, the hosts score 1.70 goals per match, whilst the away side concede an average of 1.76 goals per match. In addition, Garry Monk’s side have conceded the majority of their 51 goals away from home, shipping 29 goals in 15 away games. The statistical difference between the two sides suggests this game will be a high-scoring, one-sided contest.
Third Prediction for Birmingham City vs Cambridge United – Jay Stansfield to score – 1/1
On deadline day, Birmingham broke their own transfer record by securing striker Jay Stansfield on a permanent deal from Premier League side Fulham. With a hefty price tag attached to a player in the third tier, there was plenty of speculation about whether the 22-year-old could meet the high expectations placed on a player of that price tag. However, Stansfield has certainly delivered, scoring 14 goals this season and becoming the league’s second-highest scorer, just two goals behind Wycombe’s Richard Kone. The striker is in great form, having netted three goals in his last five matches across all competitions, and will be looking to add to his tally against struggling opposition on Tuesday.

Full Preview of the Game – Last Results and Head-To-Head
As mentioned above, the Blues come into this game on significantly better form than their opponents, only losing in the FA Cup in their last five
With second-placed Wycombe not in action, Chris Davies’ side could further extend their lead at the top of the table to five points, and still with another game in hand over teams below themselves. Three points would also mean a lot to struggling Cambridge as they fight for survival, as they have an opportunity to move off the bottom spot depending on other results around them.
These sides have only met twice in cup competitions since 2011, with the spoils split between the two sides. The U’s got the better of their opponents in the most recent matchup, which took place in 2020, winning 1-0.
