Having had a week to recover from their disappointing Carling Cup Final defeat, Aston Villa must now travel to the Madejski Stadium to take on FA Cup ‘giant killers’ Reading in this FA Cup Quarter Final. Coming so soon after the Carling Cup final, it will be a visit that Martin O’Neill and his team will not relish; particularly as the hosts have found some much needed form at home – seemingly as a result of their excellent cup run.
Nonetheless, Ladbrokes.com still make Villa hot favourites to win the tie with betting odds of 4/5, Reading are at a tasty 3/1 with the draw an 11/5 chance.
Reading have done remarkably well to reach this stage of the FA Cup, having knocked out Liverpool, Burnley and then WBA in a nail biter of a replay in the last round. These wins have brought the crowds flooding back to the ground meaning that Villa can expect a very vociferous pro-Reading crowd on Sunday.
Reading have recently moved four points clear of the Championship relegation zone, following a run of three home wins, including a 5-0 trouncing of Sheffield Wednesday last week where striker, Grzegorz Rasiak scored twice as did midfielder, Jimmy Kebe, who has now scored five in five. It is their excellent striking lately that makes one believe that they will score in this match against Villa, despite the visitors having the least goals conceded in the Premier League this year. Rasiak is at 9/1 and Kebe at 10/1 to score the opening goal of this match.

We also think that Villa, who apart from last week had not been beaten this year are very capable of doing enough so as not to lose this game, it is why we think it will go to a replay and would suggest punters consider backing the 1-1 draw at 11/2 with Ladbrokes as a likely Correct Score outcome.
