Ten FA Cup fourth-round ties take place on Saturday. The action starts at 12:15 with two lunch-time kick-offs, six at 3pm, and two evening kick-offs involving Premier League sides. Below, you can find our favourite fancies with our FA Cup betting tips for Saturday.
The first of today’s football tips is for Everton Iliman Ndiaye to score anytime in the match against Bournemouth. David Moyes has had a successful return to Goodison Park, guiding Everton to three straight league victories. Over those three games, the Toffees have netted eight goals, suggesting Saturday’s match could be another high-scoring affair.
While Moyes is likely to make some adjustments, Iliman Ndiaye has been in outstanding form and is expected to keep his spot in the starting XI. The Senegalese forward has found the back of the net in four of his last five matches, and with penalty duties under his belt, he also scored in the previous round of this competition against Peterborough.
Burnley have struggled in attack, failing to score in five of their last eight league matches. However, their defence has been rock-solid, conceding just once in over 15 hours of football. Some Burnley supporters have grown tired of their approach under Scott Parker, and it’s hard to imagine much changing here.
Southampton have shown signs of improvement under Ivan Duric, securing a decent 2-1 win over Ipswich last weekend. But with eight of Burnley’s last nine games featuring fewer than 2.5 goals, a similar outcome seems likely.
Meanwhile, Brighton have only won once in their last 11 home games against Chelsea and lost the last four meetings with the Blues. Both teams have been inconsistent lately, though Chelsea showed signs of improvement in their 1-0 win over West Ham on Monday. The Blues boast an excellent FA Cup record, advancing from 25 of their last 27 fourth-round ties. With two attacking sides, this could turn into a high-scoring affair, and backing Chelsea to win with both teams scoring looks like a solid bet.
