Level 1 Bet Builder Tip

🎯 Marco Asensio to have 1+ Shots on Target 🔄

📈 Odds: 1.40

Marco Asensio has scored seven goals across his eight appearances across all competitions for Unai Emery’s side, including scoring both goals in Villa’s 2-0 win over Cardiff in the last round of this competition. For context, this already five more goals than Asensio managed for PSG this season, despite making double the number of appearances in France. Aston Villa had 10 shots on target in the last round of the FA Cup against Cardiff, Asensio provided two of these which both ended up in the back of the net from four efforts in total. He’s had three shots on target across his 206 minutes in the Premier League this season (1.31 per 90) which is a small sample size but adds to the evidence of his goal threat. He’s also impressed in the Champions League for Villa since joining on loan in January, scoring in both legs against Club Brugge to book Villa’s progression to the quarter finals of the competition where they’ll face Asensio's parent side in PSG. Asensio has had five shots on target across his 206 minutes in the Champions League this season (2.18 per 90), his record across all competitions has been solid since making the move to the midlands and that should continue here against second tier opposition.

🩹 Youri Tielemans to be Fouled 2+ Times 🔄

📈 Odds: 1.83

Tielemans will certainly be in the wars here up against a Preston side that is committing more fouls per game than any other side in the Championship this season (13.3 per game). This aggressive approach took centre stage in Preston’s 3-0 win over Burnley, with Paul Heckingbottom’s side committing 21 fouls. Tielemans has won 47 fouls across his 29 Premier League appearances this season (1.69 per 90). This average is set to rise up against the intensity and aggression that Preston have displayed in the majority of their games this season. Paul Heckingbottom’s side are likely to be without the ball for large parts of this game which should see their defensive load increase, Tielemans is an obvious target to be on the end of these infringements with his excellent ability in tight spaces and assisting Villa in baiting the press from the opposition.

🚩 Aston Villa to have 2+ Corners in Each Half

📈 Odds: 1.50

Villa racked up 12 corners in their 2-0 win over Cardiff in the last round of the FA Cup with this selection landing comfortably. Villa have been strong from set pieces all season, scoring 13 of their 41 goals this season in the Premier League from these situations (31%). Aston Villa are averaging 5.07 corners per game across their 14 away games in the Premier League this season, a metric we can expect to rise against a Preston side that will be on the back foot for large portions of this tie. Preston are conceding 4.74 corners per game across their 19 home games in the Championship this campaign, Villa should be able to force an increase in this tally. Unai Emery’s side have shown how effective they can be from these situations in the Premier League and could lean on organised routines again should scoring from open play prove difficult.

🏆 Aston Villa to Qualify

📈 Odds: 1.20

Aston Villa are heavy favourites to qualify for the semi finals of the FA Cup in arguably the most one sided tie of the quarter final matchups. There is a significant gap in quality between the Championship and the Premier League which is only growing, and is best evidenced by the struggles the promoted sides have faced in the top flight over the last few seasons. Villa may find it difficult to turnover Preston in regular time seeing as they’ve only lost two games in the Championship at Deepdale all season, but unfortunately for the home side, the longer the tie goes on, the better chance Villa have of progressing with the depth they possess in the squad after key reinforcements in January. Aston Villa have won each of their last five games across all competitions and comfortably swept aside Cardiff in the last round of the cup. While their away form is patchy, Villa’s quality should be the difference here against second tier opposition, setting up a trip to Wembley.

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip

🎯 Aston Villa to have the Most Shots on Target in Each Half

📈 Odds: 2.0

Aston Villa had 10 shots on target to Cardiff’s one in the last round of the FA Cup, Villa had six times more shots than their Championship opponents (25-4) in what was a dominant performance that can be replicated here. Preston are averaging just 3.4 shots on target per league game, only Oxford, Derby and Plymouth have a weaker record in this metric. Villa will dominate this game and be able to repeatedly sustain attacking pressure in Preston’s half, which should see Villa comfortably come out on top in the shot on target department. The visitors are averaging 4.2 shots on target per game in the Premier League this season which isn’t the most standout of records, but we can expect this to increase against weaker opposition here. The attacking reinforcements that Aston Villa drafted in during the January transfer window has lessened their reliance on Ollie Watkins, they now have threats from all areas of the pitch. The 10 shots on target that Villa managed against Cardiff suggests that they can exceed their league shot on target average again here.

🟨 Preston to Receive the Most Cards

📈 Odds: 1.57

Preston are the most aggressive side in the Championship as evidenced by their foul numbers (13.3 per game - 1st in Championship) and card numbers (95 - 1st in Championship). Preston committed 21 fouls in the last round of the cup against Burnley, picking up three yellow cards in the process. This trait of Paul Heckingbottom’s team should really come to the fore against Premier League opposition. Aston Villa have won 10+ fouls in 25 of their 29 Premier League matches this season (86%), which indicates that Preston will have quite a job on their hands on stopping Villa progressing up the pitch without bringing them to the ground. Villa have drawn 2+ cards from the opposition in each of their last three Premier League games whilst Preston have collected 3+ cards in each of their last three Championship games.

🟨 Benjamin Whiteman to be Shown a Card 🔄

📈 Odds: 2.40

Benjamin Whiteman has been shown 10 of the 95 yellow cards Preston have been shown in the Championship this season. The central midfielder will be at the heart of the action for the home side, tasked with stopping a technical and talented Aston Villa midfield who win fouls regularly. Whiteman has committed 30 fouls across his 27 appearances in the Championship this season, 20 of these appearances have been starts, taking his average to 1.48 fouls committed per 90. We can expect this tally to increase when considering that Whiteman will line up against Youri Tielemans and John McGinn. Tielemans is averaging 1.69 fouls won per 90 across his 29 Premier League appearances this season whilst McGinn has won 55 fouls across his 25 Premier League appearances this term (2.77 per 90). This duo will be difficult for Preston’s midfielders to manage.

⚽🤝 Morgan Rogers to Score or Assist 🔄

📈 Odds: 2.0

Morgan Rogers has registered 19 goal contributions across his 41 appearances across all competitions for Aston Villa this season (12 goals, seven assists). He’s been particularly effective in the FA Cup, registering three goal contributions across his three appearances in the competition. Rogers is Aston Villa’s second top scorer in the Premier League this season (7) only behind Ollie Watkins with 13 goals. He also sits joint second in the assist rankings (4), joined by Tielemans and Digne with only Ollie Watkins eclipsing the trio in this particular metric (6). Rogers has exceeded his xG of 4.85 to score seven Premier League goals this season and also marginally sits above his xA in the Premier League (3.5). He gave a positive account of himself for England over the international break and should get plenty of opportunities to hurt Preston here.
