A goal by Christian Benteke brought the victory with 2:1 to Villa a few days ago in a match between the two teams played in the Premier League. Now in the FA Cup, West Brom will seek revenge. The stakes are high, as the winner will ensure his semi-final in the oldest tournament in the world. The outcome of this exciting match will be found out on Saturday night. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 2.80 for a home win, with a draw at 3.20 and 2.88 for the victory of the guests.
That victory over the upcoming opponent was the first in the Premier League for the new manager of Villa - Tim Sherwood. This success will reassure the team as it climbed them out of the relegation zone, where was Villa before the game. The upcoming match is a bonus for the home side, which can significantly increase their confidence before the important battles for survival in the Premier League. Sherwood already hinted that he would not make major changes in the composition. One of those changes compared to the game before a few days will be the appearance of Leandro Bacuna in the starting line-up. It is dictated by the punishment of two meetings, which received the starting right-back Alan Hutton. So far in the tournament the holder in all matches was Shay Given and probably he will be preferred again, at the expense of Brad Guzan.
The Baggies breathe calmly in the Premier League as opposed to their upcoming opponent. However, they are in danger of relegation and matches in the league are more important to them. Manager Tony Pulis said that he wanted to make some changes in the composition, but there is no strong choice. Victor Anichebe will miss this match because of injury, which means that an attacker couple Saido Berahino and Brown Ideye will continue to hold the front in this match. Stephane Sessegnon and James Morrison will start on the wings, which seems that Pulis will be very attacking. Callum McManaman is recovered from his injury, but will likely remain on the bench and will wait for a chance to shine after the break.
Both teams will approach the game with the thought of the battles in the Premier League that are important for them. Is expected to see cautious and equivalent game in which the draw would be the logical outcome.
Recommended bets: Draw @ 3.20
More goals on the second half @ 2.37
Draw on the first half @ 1.95
