Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | FA Cup 2024-25

The Villans have not won any of their matches against the Eagles this season.

Crystal Palace are all set to lock horns with Aston Villa in the FA Cup 2024-25 semi-final. The high-stakes English club cup contest will be played at Wembley Stadium.

Crystal Palace held Arsenal to a draw in their previous Premier League game and have also not lost any of their matches against Villa this season. The Eagles dominated Fulham in their FA Cup quarterfinals and will be looking to come in with a similar form. Crystal Palace will be looking to secure the third win over the Villans this season.

Aston Villa secured an easy win over Preston North End in the previous round of the FA Cup. They have also not been in the best form when the English Premier League is considered. The Villans will be under some pressure as they have already lost to the Eagles twice this season and will be looking to turn the tide around this time.

Players to Watch

Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace)

Eberechi Eze will have a major role to play for the Eagles. The 26-year-old English star has scored two goals in three games in the FA Cup this term so far. Eze also scored an important goal in the last Premier League game against Arsenal. From controlling the midfield to scoring goals, Eze can manage all.

Marcus Rashford (Aston Villa)

The England national football team forward scored a brace for the Villans in the last FA Cup round fixture. Marcus Rashford was also the only goal scorer for Aston Villa in the EPL game against Manchester City. He is going to create some problems for Crystal Palace’s defence with his attacking skills.
