Betting on Sheffield United
Sheffield United has had an amazing campaign thus far, not only making it to this stage of the FA Cup, but also making impressive progress in the Championship. Currently in second place, they sit seven points behind their closest rivals, suggesting a return to the top flight may be on the horizon.
However, their journey to this point has not been easy. They faced Wrexham, a fifth-division English team, and were pushed to their limits. In the first match, they drew 3-3, forcing a replay in which Sheffield Wednesday won 3-1 after scoring two goals in extra time.
Despite this challenge, their recent home form has been stellar, winning eight of their last ten home games and scoring three goals in five of those victories. This makes them a formidable opponent for Tottenham to overcome.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Wesley Foderingham; Anel Ahmedhodzic, John Egan, Jack Robinson; Jayden Bogle, Sander Berge, Olivier Norwood, John Fleck, Max Lowe; Iliman Ndiaye, Olivier McBurnie.
Betting on Tottenham Hotspur F.C
Tottenham appears to have found their footing after a challenging start to 2023. They secured a critical 2-0 victory over Chelsea last weekend, marking their fifth win in their last seven official matches. A significant factor in their improvement has been their defense, which has kept a clean sheet in all five of those victories.
Currently sitting in fourth place in the Premier League with 45 points, Tottenham will be without their coach, Antonio Conte, who is recovering from surgery in Italy. They may also rest some first-team players, given their upcoming Champions League match.
Despite this, Tottenham is still considered the favorite against Sheffield on Wednesday, as they have a higher level of skill and have won their previous two meetings by more than two goals. However, this will be their first FA Cup tie since 1958.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Fraser Forster; Japhet Tanganga, Davinson Sanchez, Clement Lenglet; Matt Doherty, Rodrigo Betancur, Yves Bissouma, Ryan Sessegnon; Dejan Kulusevski, Heung-Min Son; Ivan Perisic.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite Sheffield Wednesday’s great year, the differences between both teams are more than evident, even more so with Tottenham coming into this match at a high level in both defense and attack. Moreover, even if they make some rotations, they are still a team packed with good enough players to pull off this match.
Therefore, we expect Tottenham to show their superiority in this match and manage to take a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Tottenham Moneyline (SHE 0 – 2 TOT).
