FOOTBALL
FA Cup 3rd Round, Ties
Jan 7th/8th/9th
This weekend's 3rd round of the FA Cup sees some real David-and-Goliath
clashes, but with the gap between the top and bottom of the
football league growing even wider, it is not easy to spot many
potential giant-killing acts. Both Yeading (v Newcastle) and
Exeter (v Man Utd) will be hoping for an upset, but the best
that both can hope for is their share of the gate receipts.
The former (albeit on neutral territory), however, could well
frustrate the Toon now that Shearer and Kluivert are missing,
and Bellamy is a possible injury worry. A 0-2 (6/1) or 0-3 (9/2)
scoreline does not look unrealistic for the minnows.
The BBC are showing the Yeading game live (join us for In-Play
betting to a margin of 107%), but there are genuine chances
of an 'upset' in the other two live BBC games. The Toffees
are going through a 'sticky' period right now, and their game
at Plymouth on Saturday could be coming at the wrong time
for them. The promoted Pilgrims, after going unbeaten in their
first four Championship games, have settled into a mid-table
position, while defeats at Charlton and Spurs have seen Everton
drop out of the top three. Meanwhile, the Blades have lost
just one of their last eight Championship games and could
be sharp enough to see off an inconsistent Villa. Both Championship
teams are fancied to make it into the draw at least, so a
home win/draw double could pay dividends.
FA Cup Picks: Sheffield
United & Plymouth to win or draw (4 bets) – pays
out @ 12/1 (best odds).
The 'Big Three' teams have dominated this competition over
the past 10 years, but with all three still in contention
for Champions League honours, it may pay to look elsewhere
in our outright market. Spurs have always been a decent Cup
side and they can be backed at 20/1 with us, ½ odds
1.2. In our 'Furthest Progressing Championship Team' market,
Crewe look good value at 16/1. The Railwaymen are unbeaten
in 8, and are fancied to see off Coventry at Highfield Road
on Saturday.
Antepost: Spurs (FA Cup outright) @ 20/1. Crewe (Furthest
Progressing Championship Team) @ 16/1.
