The FA Cup fifth round kicks off tonight, and Aston Villa should have enough quality to overcome Cardiff City at home.
Villa’s form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last four matches, including a 4-1 defeat at Crystal Palace on Tuesday. However, they should still be too strong for a Cardiff side who are struggling in the Championship.
Aston Villa vs. Cardiff City: Top Betting Tips
Unai Emery will be looking for a reaction from his players after the loss to Palace, and he may field a strong lineup for this cup tie. New signings Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio could both start for Villa.
The Spaniard Asensio, who scored a brace in Villa’s last home game against Chelsea, looks good value at 7/5 to find the net against Cardiff.
The visitors’ January signing Sivert Mannsverk, a midfielder from Norway, has a reputation for picking up cards and could be worth considering at 12/5 with BoyleSports to be booked again tonight.
Sheffield Wednesday vs. Sunderland: Top Betting Tips
Sunderland’s push for automatic promotion in the Championship has hit a snag, with back-to-back defeats leaving them 13 points behind leaders Leeds United and eight adrift of second-placed Sheffield United.
The Black Cats will be desperate to get back on track against an Owls side who are just six points off the play-off places. With both teams low on confidence, the half-time draw at evens with BoyleSports could be worth considering, while backing most goals to come after the break at 21/20 also looks appealing.
Partick Thistle vs. Livingston: Top Betting Tips
In the Scottish Championship, Livingston have the chance to go top of the table when they visit Partick Thistle.
Thistle are in a state of flux after sacking manager Kris Doolan, and caretaker boss Brian Graham, who also plays up front for the team, could be worth a look at 12/5 with Bet365 to score again.
Livingston are typically strong from set-pieces, so the 11/10 on offer for over 10.5 corners in the match looks a safer option.
