Arsenal vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup

These two sides are both one game away from the Wembley semi-finals that I still don't approve of all that much. For Arsenal it's becoming a regular second home as they bid to win the FA Cup for the third season in a row. After recent form in the Premier League and trailing Barcelona 2-0 in the Champions League, the FA Cup is again their best chance of success. For the fourth round in a row Arsenal have been drawn at home but did need to travel to Hull to get a fifth round replay win on Tuesday, their first win in five games. Watford are down in 13th in the Premier League but assured of being in the top flight again next season so can give this game 100% attention. So far they have beaten Newcastle, Notts Forest and Leeds all by a 1-0 scoreline to get this far. They only have one point from their last three Premier League games but the biggest problem is a lack of goals with not one in that trio of matches. Ighalo hasn't scored since the end of January and the last eight games in all competitions have only seen Watford score on four occasions and one of those was a penalty. Arsenal know this is important for their season so I expect them to get a win here.
