Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton

Rationale:

Bournemouth’s defensive structure has weakened significantly due to suspensions and injuries, with Ilya Zabarnyi’s absence a major setback. Additionally, Ryan Christie’s potential unavailability further disrupts their midfield stability.

Wolves, on the other hand, have been impressive going forward. They have scored in nine of their last ten visits to Bournemouth, with Matheus Cunha in fine form. However, their defensive record has been far from solid, conceding key goals in recent matches.

The hosts will aim to dominate at home, while Wolves will look to hit on the counter. Given both teams’ attacking threats and defensive issues, a high-scoring encounter is on the cards.

Best Bet – 2-2 Draw

QPR vs Sheffield United

Rationale:

Sheffield United have been one of the Championship’s most consistent sides, with 22 wins in 34 matches. Their disciplined defensive approach and clinical finishing have kept them in the promotion race.

QPR, however, are in a slump, having lost four of their last six games. Their recent struggles include defeats against teams from all levels of the table. While they have talented attackers in Paul Smyth, Ilias Chair, and Koki Saito, they face a Sheffield United defence that has been among the best in the league.

Chris Wilder’s side will be determined to bounce back from a setback against Leeds. Their quality should shine through, but QPR may still manage to grab a goal at home.

Best Bet – Sheffield United 2-1

Middlesbrough vs Derby

Rationale:

Middlesbrough have been involved in plenty of high-scoring matches this season, netting 51 times but also conceding 45. Their recent 3-1 victory over Stoke highlights both their attacking potency and defensive frailties.

Derby’s backline has been far from secure, conceding 47 goals so far. Their away form has been particularly poor, managing just one victory from 12 road trips. They are likely to take risks as they chase much-needed points, which could lead to an open game.

Given Middlesbrough’s attacking intent and Derby’s vulnerabilities, goals should be expected in this encounter. The home side’s superior finishing ability should see them claim a comfortable win.

Best Bet – Middlesbrough 3-1

Manchester City vs Plymouth

Rationale:

Manchester City have faced challenges breaking down defensively organised teams in cup competitions. Plymouth will likely set up with a deep defensive block, similar to their approach against Liverpool.

Despite their dominance, City have often taken time to break down lower-league opposition. In their previous round against Leyton Orient, they fell behind before eventually asserting control. With squad rotation expected, it may take time for Guardiola’s side to find their rhythm.

Plymouth’s struggles in front of goal away from home are another key factor—they have only managed seven goals in 19 away matches. City’s patience in these types of games suggests they will take control in the second half.

Best Bet – Man City 2-0

Newcastle vs Brighton

Rationale:

Newcastle’s recent dip in form has left them vulnerable, with two defeats in their last four home matches. Their midweek loss to Liverpool highlighted their defensive weaknesses, which Brighton could exploit.

The Seagulls, in contrast, have been in excellent form, winning four consecutive matches, including back-to-back victories over Chelsea. They have also been strong on the road, losing just once in their last eight away fixtures.

Brighton have had the upper hand in recent meetings, beating Newcastle 1-0 at St James’ Park earlier this season. Given Newcastle’s inconsistent performances and Brighton’s attacking quality, an away win seems like a real possibility.

Best Bet – Brighton 2-1

---

Manchester United vs Fulham

Rationale:

Manchester United’s FA Cup run has been a bright spot in their season, but they will need to be at their best against a resurgent Fulham side. Erik ten Hag’s men eliminated Arsenal in the previous round, but their performances have been inconsistent.

Fulham arrive in good form, having won four of their last five matches. Although they have lost twice to United in the league this season, they were unlucky not to take points in their last meeting.

The visitors have scored in every away game since August, with both teams finding the net in 11 of their 16 trips this season. United’s defence has also shown vulnerability, with three of their last four matches seeing both teams score.

Fulham’s attacking confidence could see them push United to the limit. The hosts may need extra time to progress, but a draw in 90 minutes looks likely.

Best Bet – 1-1 Draw
