Aston Villa Review
The visiting team makes its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of achieving a positive result and surprising the home team. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got an away loss against Brentford by (2‑1). In the last 10 away matches Aston Villa has won 3, tied 1 and lost 6. The team has conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, so their defense needs to improve, but their offense has been scoring regularly, as they have managed to achieve in 8 of the last 10 games. In 15 matches, they have only turned the score around in the 8 matches they have conceded the first goal.
Aston Villa comes unmotivated for this match after a defeat, by 2-1, in the trip to Brentford’s home, thus adding the second consecutive setback in the Premier League. The visiting team must act in a tactical system in 4-3-3, with the aim of trying to take advantage of counterattacks. In any case, it’s foreseeable that Aston Villa will adopt a more defensive posture, taking into account that they have a lower quality squad. Ollie Watkins is the top scorer of this team with 5 goals scored. Out of this game are Marvelous Nakamba and Ashley Young, injured, and also Bertrand Traoré and Trézéguet, these in the African Cup of Nations.
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE – Odds: 1.85
