LiontipsAston Villa – Tottenham. Forecast and bets for the FA Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Aston Villa has not been stable throughout the season, and this applies to all tournaments where the team participates. Birmingham can play great matches against strong opponents (you can recall the victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League), but at the same time lose to modest Wolverhampton, as it was in the last round of the Premier League. As a result, after 24 rounds in the Premier League, Unai Emery's wards are only in eighth place and are already four points behind the top 6. In the Cup at the previous stage, Aston Villa had some problems defeating West Ham 2-1, although they lost 0-1 after the first half.
It should be noted that Aston Villa is actively strengthening the squad during the winter transfer window. For example, strikers Marco Asensio from PSG, Marcus Rashford from Manchester United and defender Axel Disasi from Chelsea were loaned. They also bought striker Doniell Malen from Borussia Dortmund.
Disqualifications and injuries
Torres, Barkley, House, Mings, Cash, Watkins will not be able to play today due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the previous five matches, Aston Villa did not win in the first half.
- The exchange of goals scored was recorded in three of the five previous Birmingham matches.
The approximate line-up: Olsen – Garcia, Konsa, Kamara, Maatsen – Thielemans, Onana – Rogers, McGinn, Ramsey – Malen.
Current form
Last week, Tottenham soundly lost to Liverpool in the second leg of the League Cup semi-final (0-4). Now the only hope left for the team to save the season is the FA Cup and the Europa League. In the Premier League, Spurs occupy only 14th place and it will not be easy to finish even in the top 10. In many ways, the reasons for the numerous failures are related to the huge personnel losses, especially in the defense line. In the Cup at the previous stage, Ange Postecoglou's team had great difficulties with the representative of the National League Tamfors, who managed to pass only in extra time.
During the winter transfer window, Tottenham's ranks were joined by defender Kevin Danso, who was loaned from Lens, and striker Mathis Tel from Bayern Munich.
Disqualifications and injuries
Johnson, Solanke, Udodji, Werner, Romero, Vicario, Werner, Maddison and Dragushin will not be able to help their team due to injury. Richarlison's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In Tottenham's seven previous Cup matches, no more than three goals have been scored.
- Tottenham have not lost in the first half in four of their last five matches.
Approximate composition: Kinski –Gray, Danso, Davis, Spence–Bissouma, Bentancourt, Sarr–Kuluszewski, Tel, Son.

7.50Tip and bets
We don't think there will be any surprises in the upcoming cup game. Tottenham is experiencing great difficulties with the squad, they manage to produce good individual matches on character, but nothing more. Spurs had a failure with Liverpool, where they failed to create anything in attack, and the defense habitually failed. Aston Villa, after the failure with Wolverhampton, will obviously try to rehabilitate themselves on their own field, especially given the unsuccessful performance in the Premier League, winning the Cup may allow Birmingham to get a ticket to European competitions for next season, and the players should not have any problems with motivation.
Our forecast is for Aston Villa to win by a factor of 1.73
Bet on the total
It is impossible not to pay attention to the fact that in the previous seven matches in the Cup with Tottenham, more than three goals were not scored. Plus, Aston Villa's previous matches were also infrequently highly productive – only three out of ten games scored more than three goals.
The second bet is a total of less than 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.78
Betting on corners
Let's pay attention to the fact that in the previous six face-to-face matches, Aston Villa provided at least five corners. It is unlikely that this series will be interrupted today, given the problems of Tottenham.
Forecast – total corners of Aston Villa are more than five with a coefficient of 1.52
