PREVIEW
Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea both make the short trip across London to battle it out for a place in the FA Cup final later this evening.
It is Roberto Di Matteo’s side that head into the game in better form, losing just once in their previous 11 games in all competitions. Domestically, Chelsea are hot on the heels of Spurs, both dueling for a top four finish and Champions League football next year.
Harry Redknapp’s Tottenham side were flying at Christmas, and there were even talks of a title challenge, however, with just three wins in 11 Spurs are now in serious danger of not finishing in the top four and finishing well below their North London rivals.
Neither team has had a particularly challenging run to reach the last four, with Chelsea and Spurs only meeting one Premiership side along the way.
With the ever present Branislav Ivanovic missing through suspension and Tottenham looking vulnerable at the back against Norwich a sensible bet would be to back over 2.5 goals at around 1.99 on BETDAQ.
RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
Back over 2.5 goals at around 2.01 on BETDAQ: 3 points
Saturday’s Return: -5 points
APRIL RETURN TO DATE: -6.87
