Aston Villa vs Chelsea prediction and betting tips on February 7, 2024
Game Prediction
“The Foggy Albion” will once again have a rich and exciting mid-week. This time is used to finally determine the last participants at the 1/8 stage of the FA Cup. And the organizers put the most important pair of replays last: Aston Villa will host Chelsea on Wednesday evening. The analytical department of the website has made a prediction for the match on February 7, 2024.
Aston Villa is trying to maintain the level, which was achieved in the previous year
“The Villans” have been playing in the Championship not so long ago, and they had to let their brightest star, Grealish, go in 2021. Still, Birmingham traditionally has got big football ambitions, and it was the team that led Emery to “storm” Britain again. This time, the Spanish specialist is doing better. He immediately brought his new wards into the Conference League (and, ahead of schedule, reached the play-offs there). And the club finished the first lap of the current Premier League in 2nd place... It was as if the team was afraid of such agility, having made several misfires in January. It is clear that the priority will be the Premier League and attempts to finish in the top 4 there, moreover, the coach’s players are always good at the European arena. The cup tournament became almost a burden, hence the results: Middlesbrough conceded in the very end of the game and the struggle in London resulted in a 0-0 draw.
Chelsea is good in knock-out games
“The Aristocrats” were the main disappointment of the previous season. At the same time, there is a huge probability that nothing will change for the better even now – a couple of places above 12th one, where they finished in the spring, will not change anything, especially against the backdrop of nine-figure sums for the newcomers and the hopes in Pochettino. It somehow turns out to be justified in the League Cup, where, not without incident, overcoming Middlesbrough, “the Blues” appeared in the final. Still, the next opponent will be Liverpool, and the favourite of the pair is not the giant from London. As a result, it’s worth fighting in the FA Cup, although it all ended in a goalless draw in London.
Previous head-to-head matches
Being under the leadership of Emery, the players do not concede from “the Pensioners”. They won twice in the capital of England in 2023.
