The FA Cup Semi Final Draw has been made and although Spurs have an extra game to play against Fulham, they are expected to reach the Final according to the FA Cup Betting Odds after getting the more favourable of the draws.
Tottenham Hopeful Of First Competition Win Since 1991 After Draw Is Made
Spurs face Fulham in a Quarter Final replay in just over two weeks and with Spurs now at home for that encounter many will be backing an easy Spurs win. Whoever wins that game will take on troubled Portsmouth in the FA Cup Semi Final so you would expect them to reach the final. Spurs are now second favourites in the FA Cup Betting Odds after that FA Cup Draw and can now be backed at 3/1 with Paddy Power and Ladbrokes. Fulham are rated at 14/1 with Paddy Power and Boylesports and if you fancy them to overcome Spurs at White Hart Lane then that is a must bet whilst Portsmouth, who are the only one of the three teams to actually have their place in the FA Cup Semi Final booked, are 14/1 with Bet365, who offer up to £200 in free bets to new customers.
Chelsea Are Favourites And Expected To Beat Villa In Other Semi Final
That means the other FA Cup Semi Final will be Chelsea v Aston Villa. Aston Villa looked to be going out at half time yesterday when 2-0 down to Reading but they ended up winning 4-2. They are now unlikely to reach the FA Cup Final after that draw and are available at 9/2 with Bet365 and SkyBet, whilst Chelsea continue to be favourites at 11/10 with SkyBet, with some bookies now going odds on. Most will be expecting an FA Cup Final between Spurs and Chelsea, SkyBet offer 5/2 that is the outcome and that looks a very good price. Next most likely is Chelsea v Portsmouth and that is 3/1 with SkyBet whilst Chelsea v Fulham final is 7/2 with SkyBet.
