Chelsea vs Aston Villa 27.01.2024 Prediction: FA Cup
Match Overview
An exciting match will be played between Chelsea and Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge in London on Saturday. While the home team hold all the aces against their opponents, they know very well how big a challenge they can put towards them. Villa are known to be giant killers in the truest sense of the term, and they will enjoy this game.
Key Highlights
There have been a total of 24 games recorded between these two teams in the past, out of which the home team have won fifteen. Villa have been victorious on six occasions while the rest of the three matches were played out as drawn encounters between the two teams. This means that Chelsea have historically held sway over Villa, and are expected to do so this time around as well.
Injury Report
Both these teams have long lists of injured players to their names. For Chelsea, Robert Sanchez, Wesley Fofana and Reece James, among others, will be missing out. For Villa, Lucas Digne and Tyrone Mings are among a few who are ruled out.
Prediction
What will irk Chelsea a lot is that the last time these two teams met, in the Premier League earlier this season, Aston Villa were able to beat them 1-0 at Stamford Bridge. Losing to such an opponent at home must have proven to have a big dent to their confidence, but it must have given them something to fight about as well. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
