Blackpool

Blackpool

Ipswich Town aim to build on a 2-1 win over Oxford United and given Blackpool's shaky defence, we predict that the Tractor Boys will book their place in the FA Cup last 32 with a 3-1 win over the League One side. Ipswich Town head into this match in excellent form, winning 4 of their last 5 matches and sitting on 2 points per game overall. Their home dominance is notable –... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough are brimming with confidence following a 4-0 win over Southampton, but with Fulham being a real force to be reckoned with at home, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. The Cottagers are missing Bassey, Chukwueze, and Iwobi to international duty, but they have the squad depth to cover these absences. They’ve shown solid form overall, averaging 1.7 point...

VIEW PREDICTION

Southampton

Southampton

Doncaster are eager to claim a major scalp in the FA Cup last 64, but given the number of high-profile players in the away team, we predict a 2-1 Southampton win. Donny will be without midfielder George Broadbent, who picked up a knock in their recent 1-1 League One draw with Bolton. The League One side have struggled for consistency, earning just 1.10 points per game, with ... Read More...

Millwall

Millwall

Given Burnley's struggles in the Premier League, we predict that they are going to play out a 1-1 draw with Championship side Millwall in the FA Cup last 64. The Clarets welcome the return of Lyle Foster and Hannibal Mejbri from international duty, but their recent form remains a major concern. Vincent Kompany’s side are without a win in five, collecting just 0.20 points p... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Burton

Burton

As both Boreham Wood and Burton are likely to adopt a cautious approach in Saturday's FA Cup game, we predict a 1-1 draw. Luke Garrard's men head into this FA Cup clash in excellent shape, winning 8 of their last 10 matches and posting an impressive 2.50 points per game overall. At home, they remain strong with a 71% win rate and an average of 2.00 goals scored, supported by... Read More...

Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury

Wolverhampton approach this FA Cup tie hoping to reset after a difficult run, taking just 0.40 points per game overall and winning only one of their last ten matches. However, 2-0 is our predicted outcome for Saturday's game as Wolves will not have have a better chance than this to get back on course. Even at Molineux, their 20% win rate and 0.80 goals scored per home game u... Read More...

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace

Macclesfield head into this FA Cup tie in confident mood after edging Radcliffe 2–1, continuing a solid run that features five wins from their last eight. However, we predict a 2-1 away win as Crystal Palace are a more experience side. At home the National League side have been competitive, averaging 1.75 goals scored per match, while their overall BTTS rate of 70% reflect... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Sunderland

Sunderland

Everton enter this FA Cup tie looking to steady their form after a mixed run, losing three of their last five. As Sunderland are not regarded as good travellers, we predict a 1-0 home win. David Moyes' side remain far more effective at home, scoring 1.60 goals per match at Goodison despite posting just 1.20 PPG there. Defensively, Everton still offer solidity, keeping 40% ho...

Cheltenham are high on confidence following a commanding 3-0 win over Crawley. Given Leicester's ups and downs on the road, we predict a 2-2 draw in Saturday's FA Cup clash.

Nottingham Forest

Wrexham head into this FA Cup last-64 tie in excellent spirits after four straight wins, including a superb 2-1 Championship victory over Derby. Therefore, we predict that they are going to hold Premier League side Nottingham Forest to a 2-2 draw in Saturday's clash. The Dragons have been especially strong at home, averaging 3.80 goals per game at the Racecourse Ground and s... Read More...

Wigan

Preston head into this FA Cup clash in improving form after back-to-back victories, including a controlled 2-0 win over Bristol City. Given Wigan's ups and downs in the League One, our prediction leans toward a 2-0 home win.

Fleetwood

Fleetwood

Port Vale will look to build on their emphatic 5-1 win over Blackpool as they return to Vale Park, where their form has been considerably stronger than on the road. As Fleetwood are hit by injuries, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Valiants average 1.67 points per game at home and have conceded just 0.50 goals per home match, supported by a solid xGA of 1.22.

Oxford United

MK Dons enter this FA Cup tie in solid form, having suffered just one defeat across their last five matches. Given Oxford United's poor form, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Dons have been especially reliable at Stadium MK, averaging 2.33 points per game and scoring 1.67 goals per home outing, while conceding only 0.67. Their expected goals and xGA at home (1.38 vs 1.18) unde... Read More...

Crystal Palace will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Tottenham when they take on Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

A spot in the FA Cup final will be at stake when Nottingham Forest and Manchester City square off against each other at Wembley. The Reds aim to put an icing on the cake on a very successful season, but they will have a big fish to fry against Pep Guardiola’s troops.

Aston Villa

All eyes will be on Wembley Stadium when Crystal Palace and Aston Villa lock horns in the FA Cup semis. The Eagles are on a four-game winless run in the Premier League, but they should not be written off just yet in Saturday’s clash.
