Chelsea have been performing well in the new year, with 12 points in the last 5 rounds, but these successes have left the team in 9th place in the Premier League, 12 points behind the top 4. So the easier way to qualify for at least the UEFA Europa League is to win the FA Cup.
But Aston Villa are an extremely formidable opponent this season, going for 4th place in the Premier League. And not many people manage to keep their gates intact when playing with Villa (the team has 43 goals, away team also scores on average more than 1 goal per game).
Nominally Chelsea looks the favourite, but the team had a difficult calendar, and the defence often makes mistakes, so we do not think that Aston Villa will lose today.
Prediction: Aston Villa to lose by 1 goal or not to lose at all. We recommend the “2 Hand (+1)” bet, odds 1.66
