Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/26/25

Aston Villa have not won the FA Cup since 1957 but they have a golden opportunity to reach the final this year as they face Crystal Palace in the semifinals. The Villans have won 10 of their last 12 games and the only times in that run that they have failed to come out on top was on the road to PSG and Manchester City. Unai Emery’s side have already seen off 2 Premier League opponents to reach the last four, West Ham and Tottenham, and should be able to make it 3 when they take on Palace.

The Eagles had an impressive run from Christmas until the start of this month but their form has tailed off a touch recently, as they now have just 1 win from their last 6 games and that was a rivalry success over Brighton in which the form book went out of the window. Perhaps the biggest concern for Oliver Glasner’s side has been their recent capitulations against Manchester City and Newcastle, in which they conceded 10 goals across 2 matches. Palace have never won this competition and have had a fairly easy run through this year’s tournament, getting the better of lower league opposition in the shape of Stockport, Doncaster and Millwall before beating Fulham in the quarterfinals.

One positive for Crystal Palace fans is that they have already met Villa 3 times this season and have won 2 of those games. However, Villa have taken their form to new levels in recent weeks, bolstered by the January acquisitions of Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford. The Villans now have a much deeper squad than their opponents and that could well be the difference between these 2 teams.
