Middlesbrough

This team wants to bounce back from a painful 1-3 defeat to Coventry City in the Championship. At the moment, Middlesbrough is in 12th place in the league table and, apparently, it will definitely retain its residence in the second strongest division. At the same time, there is no need to talk about promotion in class yet.

In the last five matches, the home team achieved three wins and two defeats, scoring seven goals against their opponents.

Middlesbrough may have a special mindset going into a cup game that the visitors may not have.

Aston Villa

In the last round of the Premier League, they won 3:2 over Burnley and now Unai Emery's men are in second place in the standings, which became a huge sensation.

In their last five games, Aston Villa achieved two wins and two defeats, and there were also two draws.

I do not rule out that Aston Villa will not spend much effort on the cup match, since they have a chance to get into the Champions League at the end of the season in the Premier League.

Statistics and prediction for the match

Of the last five head-to-head matches, Aston Villa alone has four wins and one draw.

We expect a tense battle with many dangerous moments. Aston Villa's attack looks more formidable, but Middlesbrough shouldn't be underestimated either. I'll bet on the match total being more than 2.5.
