Newcastle have only lost one of their last five home matches
Cambridge have failed to score in their last three games
Newcastle have not been knocked out at home to League One or below opposition in 30 years
Newcastle need momentum under Eddie Howe

Newcastle have still only won once since Eddie Howe took charge in November, but a run of just one defeat in five home games suggests they might be beginning to turn a corner.

The Magpies, who have suffered one third round exit in the last five years, have scored in all bar two of their last nine top flight matches at St James’ Park and are desperate to start stringing together a run of results.

This fixture perhaps offers the perfect opportunity to do that. Newcastle have not been knocked out of the FA Cup by a side from the third tier or below since 1992, when they lost on penalties to Bournemouth in the fourth round.

Cambridge struggling for goals

A run of three games without a win has seen Cambridge slip down the league table, and they certainly do not appear to be in the form needed to pull off an upset.

Mark Bonner’s side have failed to score in those three games, while their away record is poor over an extended period of time, yielding only three victories from 14 matches on the road this season.

I predict that this will a struggle for the Us. I am selecting Newcastle to win to nil, predicting 3-0 as a correct score.

纽卡斯尔最近五场主场比赛只输了一场
剑桥队在最近三场比赛中都没有进球
纽卡斯尔三十年来从未在主场被甲级联赛或低于甲级联赛的对手淘汰
在埃迪·豪的带领下，纽卡斯尔需要动力

自埃迪·豪11月上任以来，纽卡斯尔只赢过一场比赛，但连续五场主场比赛仅输一场表明他们可能开始好转。

喜鹊在过去的五年中有三分之一的比赛被淘汰，他们在圣詹姆斯公园球场的九场顶级联赛中有两场都进了球，他们迫切地想要开始一系列的结果。

这个固定装置可能提供了一个完美的机会来做到这一点。1992年，纽卡斯尔队在足总杯第四轮点球大战中输给了伯恩茅斯队，自此之后，纽卡斯尔队就再也没有被三级或三级以下的球队踢出足总杯。

为目标奋斗的剑桥

剑桥队连续三场比赛都没有赢球，这使得他们在积分榜上的名次下滑，而且他们显然没有达到打破积分榜的状态。

马克·邦纳的球队在这三场比赛中都没有进球，而他们的客场战绩在很长一段时间内都很糟糕，本赛季在14场客场比赛中只取得了3场胜利。

我预测这对美国来说将是一场斗争。我选择纽卡斯尔队以零比零获胜，我认为3-0是正确的比分。
