Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Birmingham City & Cambridge United face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Carabao Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Birmingham City form and stats
Birmingham City participated in Carabao Cup the last season, where they reached the 1st round.Birmingham City have played 23 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-7-10 (wins-draws-losses). The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. Birmingham are slowly digging their own grave here at St. Andrew's Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Nottingham Forest match.
The Birmingham City crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-3 to Derby County here at St. Andrew's Stadium in a Championship match. Ahead of that match, Birmingham lost 1-3 at home to Derby County.
Birmingham has scored 33 league goals at home this season, in 23 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Birmingham defense is not exactly impregnable. 42 goals conceded from 23 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Cambridge United form and stats
Cambridge United was sent out of Carabao Cup in the 2nd round last season.As the visiting team in League Two matches, Cambridge United have produced an overall stat of 5-6-8 so far.
Cambridge play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Leyton Orient. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Carlisle United.
It's a bit worrying for Cambridge that their goalkeeper Callum Burton made six saves in the Leyton Orient game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
After this away game Cambridge United return home for a EFL Trophy game against Fulham U21. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Cambridge United as they have only managed to score 17 times from 19 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Cambridge have seen the ball go into their own net 21 times on the road.
