Preston - Aston Villa Betting Tips: Aston Villa to Win
Aston Villa are the big favourites to progress to the FA Cup semi-finals, where they will face Championship mid-table side Preston North End. The visitors are currently on a good run: they have won five games in a row in all competitions and have also notched up two wins away from home. Preston have shown some ups and downs in their performances in recent weeks, but have still only managed one win in their last four matches. Aston Villa are clearly superior as Champions League contenders at the moment and should beat Preston North End to progress to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Three reasons we expect Aston Villa to Win
- Aston Villa have won 5 games in a row in all competitions
- Preston North End have won just 1 of their last 4 matches in all competitions
- Aston Villa are a Premier League side fighting for the Champions League qualification, whereas Preston play in the Championship. Aston Villa should have enough talent to beat a much inferior opposition.
