Aston Villa vs Stevenage Predictions

• The only time Aston Villa have progressed from an FA Cup tie since reaching the final in 2015 was when they knocked out League Two side Wycombe in 2015-16.
• Both teams have scored in five of Aston Villa’s last six games
• Seven of Stevenage’s ten cup games this season have gone over 2.5 goals

Highflying Boro looking for unlikely success

Stevenage finished 21st in League Two last season but have had a much more successful campaign this time around, winning 15 of their 24 league games to sit just two points off top spot in second.

They will be aiming to carry that form into an unlikely cup win, although will be boosted by the fact that Aston Villa have lost seven FA Cup ties in a row.

Emery’s men should make class tell

Aston Villa put in the poorest performance of Unai Emery’s reign against Wolves on Wednesday but still managed to get a point and before that had beaten Tottenham 2-0 in an impressive showing.

The Villans showed their cutting edge against lower league opposition when beating Bolton 4-1 in the EFL Cup earlier in the campaign and are fancied for another success here.
