Aston Villa and Chelsea play their replayed FA Cup game after the meeting at the Stamford that ended without goals. The Villans are now the favorites, while on the other side, Chelsea is in a pretty poor situation following a disaster at Stamford against Wolves.
Before Betting on Aston Villa vs. Chelsea
The Villains demolished Sheffield United this Saturday night, beating the Blades 5-0 at Bramall Lane. It was a near-perfect game, though; we can’t say that the rivals perform at a decent level this season. But still, the way Villa rushed after the kick-off, blasting the Blades and looking ruthless, left an impression on us.
Aston Villa is one of the best teams at home in the Premier League, losing just once, which was last week when Newcastle managed to secure three points following a 1-3 victory. This was the eighth time in the past ten at Villa Park to see a game with both teams netting.
Chelsea is in the twilight zone. A 2-4 defeat to Wolves at Stamford opened the discussion about Mauricio Pochettino’s future in London, and to be honest, it happened much later than we expected. The Blues are playing terribly on the road, but that wasn’t the case for home matches up until now.
About those clashes they had away from Stamford, let’s say that the Blues are rather terrible. Six losses over the previous seven outings, allowing two or more goals in each but one event during that span, is a disastrous record for Chelsea, who spent enormous sums of cash coming into this campaign.
