Crystal Palace - Aston Villa Betting Tips: Aston Villa to Win

Both teams played in the Premier League during the week. Aston Villa suffered a painful last-minute defeat at Manchester City, with Matheus Nunes scoring in the fourth minute of stoppage time. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, enjoyed a 2-2 draw against Champions League semi-finalists Arsenal during the week.

Until the defeat to Manchester City, Villa had only lost to PSG in their last ten games in all competitions. Apart from those two defeats against superior opponents, they have performed very well in recent months and are still in the running to qualify for next season's Champions League. Palace, on the other hand, have suffered a dip in form in recent weeks and have not won any of their last four games, including two heavy defeats against Manchester City (5-2) and Newcastle (5-0). We expect Aston Villa to win on Saturday and reach the FA Cup final.
