13.50Tip and bets
We think there could be a sensation in this pair. Undoubtedly, Aston Villa is performing better than its opponents this season, but given the difficult schedule, Unai Emery is unlikely to field the main team today. At the same time, Crystal Palace made it clear with their victory over Tottenham that the team should not be underestimated. With a decent emotional upswing, the visitors are capable of making it to the quarterfinals, possibly outside of regular time.
Our prediction is Crystal Palace to win at odds of 2.70
Bet on total
In five of the previous seven head-to-head encounters, the opponents exchanged goals. It cannot be said that Aston Villa defense is reliable now, especially since we are not expecting the main lineup today. At the same time, the Birmingham team is unlikely to remain without a goal scored on their home field.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.76
Bet on the first half
Let note a promising trend for Aston Villa. For five matches in a row, the Birmingham team has drawn with their opponents at the end of the first half. It is quite possible that this series will not be interrupted today.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.38
