PICK LOST

When Birmingham arrives in Everton stadium then there are few goals per match. Only once this two teams have play over. In history this teams are under teams, Everton at home have 53% under. Birmingham on road have 63% under. In last 5 this teams are playing as usual, under and low scoring matches. 3 under matches for Everton and all 5 matches for Birmingham. So its obvious this teams are playing defensive soccer. No important absences for both teams, but Everton is without 2 African players, Yakubu defender and Yobo attacker.

PICK LOST

This is FA Cup match but looking at the league we see West Bromwich at the bottom of first league and Burnley is in middle of Championship league. But West Bromwich at home is average or we can say awesome, 5 wins 2 draws and only 4 loses. At home West Bromwich wins 47% games and Burnley on road lose 44%: Worst opponent for Burnley is West Bromwich because at West Bromwich Burney never won, they manage one draw but that was in year 2000. Current form also show that West Bromwich is in better shape with 2 wins in row. Few defenders are injured for West Bromwich but striker Roman Bednar is back from a ban.
FA Cup fact
Only Arsenal, Manchester United, Everton and Liverpool have played in more FA Cup semi-finals than West Brom’s 20.
Burnley had long game against Tottenham on Wednesday. They got knocked out in last 2 minutes from Carling Cup. This will sure have negative influence on team.

PICK LOST

Both of this teams didn’t play from 28 December. Doncaster team is with almost full squad ready to face Cheltenham who have some problems with roster. New loan signings cant play, two players may return to bench, 3 are injured and one is suspended. Doncaster is better club at the moment and they are in better shape. On road Doncaster have 1 win 2 draws and 2 lose. Cheltenham at home have 1 win, 3 draws and 1 lose. Main reason to play this is because Cheltenham have injuries problems and coach will probably use young players like he did before. This teams never meet before in FA Cup.

PICK WON

Torquay from Conference league is meeting Blackpool from Championship league. Blackpool in Championship league cant win in last 5 they have 4 draws and 1 lose. On road they score only 3 goals and conceded 5. On road they have only 1 win 2 draws and 2 loses. Torquay is very good in Conference, 3 wins at home with 1 draw and 1 lose. Scored 10 goals on home stadium and conceded only 3 goals so far. Torquay will decide if Mustapha Carayols will be ready to play and Roscoe Dsane maybe will return after Flu.
More problems are at Blackpool, they lost 6 players because loan contracts have ended, Gary Taylor-Fletcher is banned. And 3 other players are injured. Lots of problems for Blackpool in this FA Cup fight.
Torquay United manger Paul Buckle told BBC Spotlight:
“We need to be on top of our game, we know that, and we are at the moment.
“Blackpool are a very good side, really work hard, and we’re going to be up against it.
“But with a good number of fans at Plainmoor, it’ll be a tough place to come.”
