Today's FA Cup betting tips and predictions
Hull vs Chelsea
Chelsea have been in fine form under Liam Rosenior, losing just twice in their last 10 matches across all competitions – both defeats coming to league leaders Arsenal in the EFL Cup semi-finals.
If the Englishman opts for a strong side, then that momentum could continue against his former club, Hull.
Goals have been a regular feature of Chelsea games lately, with 70% of those 10 games producing at least three goals and only two clean sheets recorded. Hull also contribute well going forward as the Championship's fourth-placed side have scored 50 times in 31 games, with over 2.5 landing in 65% of those fixtures.
Therefore, Chelsea to win and over 2.5 goals in the game looks great value at 5/6 with Ladbrokes.

Wrexham vs Ipswich
Two of the Championship's promotion-chasing sides, Wrexham and Ipswich, go head-to-head at the Racecourse Ground in what could be a lively FA Cup tie, despite playing out a 0-0 draw back in November.
Both managers are expected to take the competition seriously, even if there are changes made. Phil Parkinson rarely weakens his side in worthwhile cup games, while Ipswich will benefit from no midweek commitments.
The numbers strongly point towards goals at both ends. In the Championship, 65% of the Red Dragons' matches have seen both teams score, and that rises to 75% at home. Ipswich aren't far behind, with Both Teams To Score (BTTS) landing in 60% of their games overall, and 71% away from home.
Changes will be afoot for both teams, but expect them to still put out strong lineups. Parkinson is not one to make his side weaker in the cups, while Ipswich do not have a midweek league fixture.
Given those trends, BTTS looks a solid bet at 17/20 with Paddy Power.
