The FA Cup quarter-finals are on the horizon, and we reckon they’re bringing a bundle of brilliant acca opportunities with them.
Our FA Cup acca tips offer the best value multiples this weekend, with each pick being a solid value bet.
Together, they stack up to 20.61/1 odds on Betfred, meaning a tenner returns a whopping £216.13.
That’s some serious value if you ask us.
| Bet | Odds |
|---|---|
| Fulham to beat Crystal Palace | 11/8 |
| Forest to beat Brighton | 16/4 |
| Villa to beat PNE | 4/9 |
| City vs Bournemouth Over 2.5 Goals | 1/2 |
| Fulham to beat Crystal Palace Forest to beat Brighton Villa to beat PNE City vs Bournemouth Over 2.5 Goals | 20.61/1 |
Why these picks? Let’s break it down.
Bet 1: Fulham to Beat Crystal Palace– 11/8 Odds
Were it not for their spirited 2-1 loss to Brighton, Fulham would be walking into their showdown with Crystal Palace off the back of a trio of superb victories.
They sped past Wolves 2-1, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat with a 2-0 win over Tottenham in the last 15 minutes, and held their nerve in a penalty shootout against Man United to book their spot in the quarter-finals.
The Cottagers have been quick, creative and more consistent than Crystal Palace in the Premier League, and, we think, deserving of far greater than the 42.1% probability implied by those 11/8 odds.
Bet 2: Nottingham to Beat Brighton & Hove Albion – 16/4 Odds
We were very surprised to see Nottingham considered as the underdogs by the bookies with 16/4 odds (20% implied probability), considering their superb form for most of this year.
For sure, their victory over Ipswich Town left a lot to be desired, but when you consider they followed it up with a 4-2 redemptive performance at Portman Road and then finished off Man City 1-0 with a glorious goal from Hudson-Odoi, the odds seem way off from reality.
And let’s not forget, when they took on Brighton in February, they thrashed them 7-0, with successful strikes from five different players. It wasn’t just a win but a statement of strength and versatility.
So, just a 20% chance of winning? Come off it.
Bet 3: Villa to beat PNE – 4/9 Odds
Even at 69.2% implied probability, we think Villa are underrated here.
It would take a seismic upset for a Preston North End, who are 14th in the Championship to take down a decent Premier League side on their current form.
Let’s put it this way: Preston have failed to win 7 of their last 10 games against teams weaker than Villa, who’ve had their usual solid start to the year, topped off with a stellar few weeks leading up to this match.
In fact, one of their standout performances came just weeks ago, as they smashed Club Brugge out of the Champions League with a dominant 6-1 aggregate score.
Aside from a shock 4-1 loss to Crystal Palace, Villa have been on fire, drawing with Liverpool and beating Chelsea, Brentford, and Cardiff in the space of a month.
Put simply, we’d be stunned if they lose here.
Bet 4: City vs Bournemouth Over 2.5 Goals – 1/2 Odds
For these two, over 2.5 goals may just be the beginning. Looking at Bournemouth’s last six games, a minimum of three goals have been scored in four of them, and they’ve found the back of the net in all but one.
Man City’s last six games saw half of them have 3 or more goals, but we think that’s actually a bit of an understatement.
First, let’s look at the Premier League stats. City has scored 55 goals this season, meaning they’re averaging 1.89 goals per game. They’ve also conceded 40, adding another 1.37 goals per game, which gives a total of 3.26 expected goals going forward.
And that’s not even factoring in the extra motivation for City, who are hungry for gold during what’s been a mediocre season for them.
Based on all this evidence, we expect at least three goals with approximately a 95% probability.
The odds have it valued at 66.7%, so in our opinion, this is another massive value bet.
