FA Cup 3rd Round – Betting Tips!
FA Cup 3rd Round - Betting Tips!
We have learned that anything can happen in football, as so many shock results has happened in the last two weeks.From my experience of watching the FA Cup each year, there is plenty more shocks in this competition, so here are my betting tips, but make the most of this opportunity because long shot lists are definitely possible.
Bad Weekend for Liverpool Clubs?
Not saying this will happen, but if you put £5 on Everton and Liverpool to beat Tamworth and Oldham respectively, both at home, then you will get £6.19 back. Anything can happen in the FA Cup. If you bet on Liverpool and Everton both to draw you can get £382. If you bet on them both to lose, you can get, from £5, £1785. You never know, FA Cup has it's magic. My tip would be on one of them to slip up. Worth a punt.
Premier League Teams to lose to lower opposition?
Fulham host Charlton, and the hosts have a history of losing early matches to minnows. It's a London derby and wouldn't surprise me if Charlton got the win here. It's only 6/1, so I don't think the odds are too kind, but that would be my tip. Macclesfield to beat Bolton is at 4/1, MK Dons to beat QPR (Warnock has said he doesn't care too much about cup competitions) is at 13/8. Burnley to win at Norwich is 3/1, and the visitors are capable of causing a few upsets. Tottenham to lose to Cheltenham is at 16/1, but a more likely draw is at 15/2. Bristol Rovers host Aston Villa, and are 5/1 to get the win or 3/1 to get the draw. I'm not exactly giving tips here, but I'd say bet on a few Premier League teams to lose, because weakened sides do play, and FA Cup has many cupsets.
Manchester City v Manchester United
It's the biggest clash of the round, and it couldn't be much bigger. Current 1st and 2nd, current holders of FA Cup and Premier League, and of course it's a Manchester derby. So much has happened between the two sides of late, and can't wait for them to have a go at each other one more time. Manchester City are 11/10 making them slights favourites as Manchester United are 5/2. If it's a draw, then it will be a replay, which they may not want in their busy fixture list. Manchester United have lost their last two, but I am going for them in this encounter.
Other Action?
The 2010 FA Cup final repeat, as Portsmouth travel to Chelsea. Chelsea are overwhelming favourites at 1/6, and AVB will play his best team so I don't expect an upset there. Arsenal host Leeds in a repeat from last year's 3rd round. In that match, Arsenal were one minute away from losing so the cupset is very much possible. Leeds are 9/1 to get the win, with Arsenal at 2/7.
