Middlesbrough host Aston Villa in the England FA Cup on 6 January 2024, Saturday. Get our free predictions, betting tips, odds insights, team form guide & H2H stats for this clash. This fixture is scheduled to kicks off at 17:30 UK Time.
Middlesbrough and Aston Villa will lock horns in one of the most interesting games of the third round of FA Cup on Saturday evening at Riverside Stadium.
The teams will go into the tie in different mood. Boro’s playoff ambitions suffered a big blow on the first day of the year as they fell 1-3 at home to Coventry City.
The team led by Michael Carrick are now 11th in the Championship table, sitting four points behind Sunderland in 6th.
Also, we have to say that it was the second loss in the last three league games for Middlesbrough.
To make things more complicated for Carrick and his troops, they play host to Chelsea in the first leg of the League Cup semifinal just three days after this clash with Aston Villa.
The Lions, on the other side, will not be in action before January 14th when they visit Goodison Park for the Premier League clash against Everton.
This is why we have reasons to expect Unai Emery to send a strong squad to the pitch on Saturday against Boro.
As for the form, Villa enter this on the back of a hardly-fought 3-2 win over ten-man Burnley seven days ago.
They are currently second in the Premier League standings, sitting three points shy of leaders Liverpool.
Latest Meetings
These two teams last battled it out in the 2018/19 Championship campaign when Aston Villa celebrated two separate 3-0 victories over Boro.
Aston Villa will enter this on the back of four wins and a draw in the last five encounters with Middlesbrough.
None of the last seven H2H outings between these rivals saw goals at both ends.
The Verdict
The quality is on Villa’s side. Knowing also that schedule works well in favor of the visitors, we have to back Unai Emery’s men to win as the main pick at the 1.53 odds.
The Over 2.5 goals FT pick also looks great at the 1.65 odds since we’ve seen five goals in each of Villa’s last two league games.
