(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 17, 2012 ) London, UK -- Wolves vs Birmingham City, an FA Cup third round replay, is likely to end another 90 minutes as a draw, according to free bet site writer David Walker.
The Midlands rivals ground out a goalless draw when they met at St. Andrews a couple of weeks ago, requiring a midweek replay that neither manager will really want.
Premier League strugglers Wolves are without a win in their last eight matches in all competitions since beating Sunderland 2-1 last December. This poor run has seen Mick McCarthy's team hover two positions and a single point above the relegation zone.
Championship side Birmingham City, on the other hand, are improving. Their last result saw them wallop Millwall 6-0 at the New Den and climb to seventh in the table – they are now just two points away from the play-offs.
Chris Hughton's side are unbeaten in their last six matches but do not have a good record away from home this season, losing seven out of 13 on the road so far.
“I doubt this will be a classic match,” said Walker, “the last meeting between these sides was goalless and the replay probably won't be much better."
“Wolves are struggling for form and are over reliant on striker Steve Fletcher. He's a good bet for the first goalscorer or anytime goalscorer market as he has scored three goals in his last five matches."
“Five out of the last six Wolves have played have ended as a draw and three of those draws have finished 1-1. A draw after 90 minutes and a 1-1 scoreline are my predictions for this evening” Walker added.
