PREVIEW
The fourth round of the FA Cup kicked off last night and Stoke host Manchester City in the lunchtime kick-off today in a repeat of the 2011 final.
City have struggled in recent years at the Britannia Stadium – drawing four of their last five games there 1-1 and losing the other one 3-1, also in this competition – and Tony Pulis will certainly have the Potters up for this one.
Roberto Mancini’s Citizens did close gap at the top of the Premier League to five points last weekend and have now racked up five successive victories. However, they still have not been as convincing this term as they were last year and backing them at around 1.78, at a ground they don’t enjoy visiting, looks best swerved,
Stoke may have only won one of their last ten games but this sort of occasion will surely bring the best out of them and if they can revert to the mean defence they displayed before Christmas then they will be tough to break down/
With that in mind, chance the draw at around 3.8 on BETDAQ. Considering the frequency of the 1-1 result in recent times, it might be worth having a nibble at the same outcome at around 8.6.
RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
Back the draw at around 3.8 on BETDAQ: 3 points
Back the 1-1 correct score at around 8.6 on BETDAQ: 1 point
Friday: +7.70 points
JANUARY RETURN TO DATE: -7.33 points
