Blackburn vs Birmingham Prediction and Betting Tips | January 28th 2023

Blackburn host Birmingham at Ewood Park in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.

Blackburn are currently fourth in the Championship, one point off Watford in third. Jon Dahl Tomasson's side have been in poor form of late, having only won two of their last seven games across all competitions. They will look to turn things around with a win against Birmingham this weekend.

Birmingham, on the other hand, are currently 19th in the league, six points above the relegation zone. John Eustace's side have been in disappointing form recently, having lost four of their last five games across all competitions. They will hope to bounce back with a win against Blackburn on Saturday.

Both sides will be looking to progress to the next round of the competition and that should make for a well-contested matchup.
