FA Cup Predictions & Betting Tips: 40/1 Quarter-Final Acca

The eight remaining clubs will be narrowed down to four in the FA Cup quarter-finals this weekend. While Man City are the bookmakers' favourites, the absence of other major contenders means the historic cup competition is wide open.

Below, we've provided a betting tip for each quarter-final match, which can be combined into a 40/1 accumulator with bet365.

1. Fulham vs Crystal Palace - Jean-Philippe Mateta To Score

• Match Details: Kick-off at 12.15pm on Saturday 29th March, live on ITV1

Jean-Philippe Mateta makes a welcome return to the Crystal Palace attack this weekend and will wear a protective mask after requiring stitches from a boot to the face by Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts earlier this month.

The striker had been in great form, netting eight goals in his last nine matches, including a brace at Old Trafford. He’s now available at 23/10 to pick up where he left off and continue his goal-scoring run.

2. Brighton vs Nottingham Forest - Forest Double-Chance

• Match Details: Kick-off at 5.15pm on Saturday 29th March, live on BBC One

Nottingham Forest head down to the south coast priced at an appealing 7/2 to secure a win and reach the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1991.

Although the Tricky Trees will be without goal-scoring machine Chris Wood, they still have the in-form Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs-White to rely on.

When these two sides met last month, Forest ran out 7-0 winners, but while a repeat scoreline seems unlikely, I do believe the in-form visitors are an attractive proposition at 21/20 in the double chance market (90 minutes).

3. Preston vs Aston Villa - Villa To Win & Both Teams To Score

• Match Details: Kick-off at 1.30pm on Sunday 30th March, live on BBC One

Aston Villa could be in for a memorable season, as they target semi-final spots in both the FA Cup and Champions League. Before Unai Emery's side face the might of PSG in Paris, they must first travel to Deepdale to take on Preston, who are making their first FA Cup last-four appearance since 1965/66.

While Villa are the clear odds-on favourites on paper, I expect Preston to put up a strong fight in front of their passionate home crowd. Therefore, my bet of choice is an Aston Villa win and Both Teams To Score, priced at 9/4 with Sky Bet.

4. Bournemouth vs Man City - Erling Haaland To Score

• Match Details: Kick-off at 4.30pm on Sunday 30th March, live on ITV1

What a match we have in store on Sunday afternoon when Bournemouth look to stun cup favourites on the south coast.

The Cherries have already got the better of City once this season, claiming a 2-1 win on home soil back in March, and they'll be desperate to repeat to the feat this weekend as they bid to progress through to the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since ?

This remains Man City's only remaining chance of silverware this season and, despite their wobbly form, you'd be a fool to right them off.

While I'm falling short of picking a winner, I do think this game will have goals, with Erling Haaland priced at 6/5 to find the back of the net for the fourth successive game in all competitions for club and country.
