@Matkafee FA Cup 5th Round Betting Preview & Picks - 3/1

The Posh are struggling in the Championship and are likely facing relegation to League One next season. Manchester City are sitting somewhat comfortably atop the Premier League and are heavy -1600 favorites in this match.

Obviously you don’t want to lay $1600 to win $100 here so how do we find value here? This will be one way action and City could really win by any score line. I’m looking at the shots market for a bet and I found something I like.Bet: Manchester City Total Shots on Target - Over 8.5 +100 (1 unit)

Another Premier League vs Championship clash see’s the Potters travel to London to play Patrick Vieira’s Palace. It’s hard for me to see anything but a victory for the home side in this one. Even if the squad is heavily rotated, Palace has enough quality to get past a bang average Stoke team.

If Christian Benteke starts, which I suspect he will, I like him to find the back of the net.

Spurs travel up north to play Middlesbrough on the back of thrashing Leeds 4-0 which ultimately cost Marcelo Bielsa his job. As much as I’d like to see an upset here, I can’t in good faith predict anything other than a victory for Tottenham. Antonio Conte won the FA Cup when he was in charge at Chelsea and this competition is the only chance for Spurs to end their long trophy drought.

For those reasons I suspect Conte names a very strong squad and they will have too much quality for the Championship side.
