Sunday's FA Cup predictions including Blackpool vs. Birmingham

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's FA Cup fixtures, including Blackpool vs. Birmingham.


Kettering vs. Doncaster (Sunday, 12.00pm)

Kettering Town will aim to continue their FA Cup run to the third round on Sunday, when they welcome Doncaster Rovers to Latimer Park.

The hosts got past third-tier Northampton Town in the previous round, while the visitors began their campaign by beating Barrow.

We say: Kettering Town 0-2 Doncaster Rovers


Sunday certainly presents a tough test for Doncaster Rovers, given the visitors' impressive away victory over third-tier opposition in the previous round, but Grant McCann's men should still outclass Kettering Town and progress at the weekend.

Blackpool vs. Birmingham (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Aiming to book a spot in the third round of the competition, League One rivals Blackpool and Birmingham City will clash for an FA Cup tie at Bloomfield Road on Sunday afternoon.

The Seasiders returned to winning ways recently following a difficult run of form under new management, whilst Blues have also struggled with inconsistency of late.

We say: Blackpool 1-2 Birmingham City


After a morale-boosting win at Bristol Rovers, Blackpool will be relatively confident of producing an upset to knock Birmingham out of the FA Cup.

That being said, Blues possess an embarrassment of riches in terms of squad depth, with a number of their fringe players desperate to fight for a spot in Chris Davies's League One XI.

Burton Albion vs. Tamworth (Sunday, 2.00pm)

National League Tamworth will look to pull off an FA Cup upset when they travel to the Pirelli Stadium for Sunday's FA Cup second-round clash with League One Burton Albion.

Tamworth sprung a surprise to beat Huddersfield Town in the first round, while the Brewers kicked off the FA Cup campaign with a win over Scarborough Athletic.

We say: Burton Albion 2-1 Tamworth


Burton may be struggling in League One this season, but they will still be favourites to progress from this tie, and we think they will live up to that tag by claiming a narrow win over a Tamworth side that have lost each of their last three away matches.

Reading vs. Harborough Town (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Seventh-tier Harborough Town will attempt to pull off an FA Cup upset when they travel to the Select Car Leasing Stadium for Sunday's second-round tie against Reading.

Harborough defeated Tonbridge Wells to reach the second round for the first time in their history, while Reading began their FA Cup campaign with a win over Fleetwood Town.

We say: Reading 3-0 Harborough Town


Harborough will enjoy Sunday's fixture no matter the result, and while they will be dreaming of pulling off an upset, we think Reading's league quality will ultimately shine through even if Selles decides to rotate his team for the second-round tie.

Solihull vs. Bromley (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Solihull Moors and Bromley will be attempting to reach the FA Cup third round when they square off on Sunday afternoon.

At a time when the home side sit in ninth place in the National League table, Bromley occupy 19th position in League Two.

We say: Solihull Moors 1-2 Bromley


With home advantage, Solihull will back themselves to cause a surprise and earn a place in the third round. However, Bromley are on an upward trajectory and their performance at Walsall earlier this week suggested that their superior class could shine through.
