Sat 14th Feb, 15:00 BST, Etihad Stadium, Manchester

Home advantage can be vital in the FA Cup, and Josep Guardiola i Sala’s Manchester City will have the joy of it on Saturday afternoon. Karl Robinson’s Salford City are their visitors to the Etihad Stadium. Our predictions for each betting market are calculated using the past 20 games each side has played (home, away and overall) with additional weight assigned to top teams. All the stats and infographics are tailored for the betting market in question. Head-to-head stats between the team are also given where our data allows. Odds are provided straight from from leading bookmakers.


Best Tip: Man City to win

A FA Cup victory in front of their own fans for Josep Guardiola i Sala's Man City team win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Statistics suggest that their form is good coming into the match, and they should be too strong for their visitors. The odds from the bookmakers are pointing in the same direction, and when that happens you've got a pretty compelling case. A Man City win is our recommendation, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.
