FA CUP SEMI-FINAL: We preview Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final between MAN U v SPURS with a recommended BETDAQ bet.


MANCHESTER UNITED V TOTTENHAM

5.15pm We have the first FA Cup Semi-Final on Saturday evening, and it’s an intriguing clash between United and Spurs. Both sides have been in excellent form lately, although they have had minor blips coming into this game – United lose at home to West Brom last weekend while Spurs could only draw away to Brighton. Spurs have a little advantage here having played all their home games at Wembley this season, so this will feel like a home match for them.

Spurs are favourites, with the match odds at the time of writing; Manchester United 3.4, Tottenham 2.34 and the draw is 3.5. Spurs have won three of their last four games when at home to the Top Six in the Premier League, and while they have been scoring goals for fun lately – they will find things a little tougher here getting past a well drilled Mourinho side.

We all know how Mourinho likes to set up his team in these big games, and it’s hard to expect anything else bar United being a little negative and opting to ‘kill the game.’ If they sneak a goal on the break, these tactics work – however they haven’t offer much going forward at all this season when employing these tactics. As we seen when they went 2-0 down against Manchester City, they can be very dangerous when attacking and it would probably suit the team more to play like that all the time.

We can’t see Mourinho going down that route though, and we feel that United will offer little going forward. We feel that Spurs have the class to beat this United side, and will spend most of the game on the front foot – they will feel comfortable having played at Wembley all season and the 2.34 on Spurs looks worth backing.
