Chelsea vs Spurs: The FA Cup Odds

 

Chelsea are 2.88 chances with Boylesports to take care of Spurs in their FA Cup semi-final clash at Wembley on Sunday and look decent value to do so.

The fact that the game is kicking off at 6pm has upset club officials as the side will have little time to recover before their UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg with Barcelona on Wednesday.

However that will surely mean that they will be out to do the business at the first time of asking, and their recent record in the FA Cup suggests they could be the team to beat this season.

The Blues have lifted the coveted trophy in three of the last five campaigns, and also have a decent record against Harry Redknapp’s men.

They have lost just one of their last 32 games in this competition.

I feel that gives them the edge despite the fact that there is little to choose between them in the league with a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane followed by a goalless stalemate at Stamford Bridge.

Roberto Di Matteo’s side come into the game in better form, and his biggest decision is likely to be whether to play Fernando Torres or Didier Drogba up front.

I think he will side with Drogba who has an excellent goalscoring record at Wembley.

He is a 9.5 shot with Boylesports to score first, and that looks good value.

I am hoping he can fire Chelsea to a 2-1 victory, and that outcome is an 11 chance with Betfred.
