Watford vs Wolves Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup

Both of these teams had good midweek wins in the Premier League, now they turn their attention to the FA Cup as they battle it out to reach the FA Cup final. Watford are eighth in the Premier League and beat Fulham 4-1, a win that relegated their opponents. Winning that game means they have to break a sequence to avoid heartbreak in this game. Their last six games have gone LWLWLW so hopefully that doesn't mean a defeat is due here. They haven't had the hardest of routes to this semi-final beating Woking, Newcastle United, QPR and Crystal Palace but this game against Wolves looks a lot tougher. 

Wolves are a place above Watford in the Premier League and like their opponents have two chances of making it into the Europa League next season. They can either do so by winning the FA Cup or hope that Manchester City do so and then they finish seventh in the league. Wolves had a good win in midweek as they again beat Manchester United at home, this time in the league following the FA Cup quarter-final victory. They came close to being knocked out of this competition when trailing 2-0 at League One Shrewsbury in the fourth round. Their form away from home (where they also beat Liverpool in the third round) isn't so hot with only two wins in their last eight games in all competitions and only three goals scored in their last five. Go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this game over 90 minutes.
