Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Prediction and Betting Tips (26.04.2025)

Command Analysis

Crystal Palace

England

Current form

The last time Crystal Palace achieved serious success in the FA Cup was in 2016, when they managed to qualify for the final. This year, the glaziers had an easy path to the semifinals. They had not met any Premier League representatives on their way to the 1/4 finals stage. It wasn't until the quarterfinals that they had to play Fulham, who were surprisingly easy to deal with with a 3-0 away score. In the Premier League, Oliver Glasner's team's recent results are completely unimpressive - four rounds without a win. Moreover, during this period there were both crushing defeats from Manchester City (2:5) and Newcastle (0:5), as well as a fighting draw with Arsenal (2:2). The Eagles have not solved serious tournament tasks in the Premier League for a long time, they occupy the 12th place in the table.

Disqualifications and injuries

Doucoure, Riad and Chilwell will not play today due to injuries.

Interesting betting trends

Crystal Palace have not won in the first half in five consecutive matches.
In seven of the last eight matches of the Londoners in the FA Cup, more than three goals have not been scored.

Approximate composition: Henderson – Lacroix, Richards, Gehey–Munoz, Hughes, Wharton, Mitchell – Eze, Sarr– Mateta.

Aston Villa

England

Current form

Aston Villa last won the FA Cup back in 1957. After that success, the team made it to the finals only twice in its history. This year, in the first two stages, the lions had Premier League rivals West Ham and Tottenham, who managed to win with the same score 2:1. Then the opponents were not too formidable, they managed to beat Cardiff (2:0) and Preston (3:0) in class. In the Premier League, Unai Emery's men are fighting for a top-5 finish and a place in the Champions League next season. After 33 rounds, Birmingham are seventh in the table and two points behind fifth-placed Newcastle. On the eve of the cup game, Aston Villa lost in the championship to Manchester City on the road with a score of 1:2.

Disqualifications and injuries

Aston Villa have no losses in the squad on the eve of the Cup semi-final.

Tip and bets

1.65Aston Villa Passage

It is very similar to the fact that Crystal Palace has a downturn in the game, but the team does not have a strong squad to win smoothly and consistently over a decent distance. The Eagles had failed to win in the previous four matches. Birmingham, on the contrary, are having a strong end to the season, there are no injured players in the squad, which makes it possible for Unai Emery to make a high-quality rotation. Taking into account the current form of the semi-final opponents, we give preference to the lions. Maybe not in the main time, but they will still make it to the finals.

Our betting tip is for Aston Villa to pass by a factor of 1.65

1.96total more than 2.5 goals

Bet on the total

When choosing a reliable total bet, you cannot ignore the statistics of personal meetings. In the previous five face-to-face battles, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa have consistently scored at least three goals between them. It is unlikely that there will be too much indoor football in the cup game.

The second bet is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.96

Betting on corners

Let's pay attention to the fact that Crystal Palace did not serve more than four corners in six of the seven previous face-to-face meetings. We do not expect Oliver Glasner's players to exceed this threshold at Wembley today.

Betting Tip – Crystal Palace's total corners are less than 4.5 with a coefficient of 1.72
