- Football Betting Tips for 2016-17 FA Cup Quarter-Finals
The 2016-17 FA Cup enters into the quarter-final stages with plenty of football betting tips focusing on teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Manchester City.
The English FA Cup is at the quarter-final stage with the possibility of winning the title becoming significantly large. Eight teams are involved at this stage of the competition with the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Manchester United clearly aiming for success in the tournament.
The presence of several top teams even in the quarter-final stages mean that FA Cup predictions for the 2016-17 season will be extremely difficult without resorting to betting tips. Here are the four fixtures in question:
Middlesbrough vs Manchester City
Manchester City required a replay in order to get past lower league Huddersfield Town, but there is a consensus that the team are finally getting back to the top. Football betting tips place City as favourites, as they have managed 7 wins in the last eight matches to confirm their return to form. Middlesbrough continue to suffer from the same kind of problems that have haunted them throughout the campaign – scoring goals. Football odds for a Boro win are quite long aș the club has scored only two goals in the last five games across all competitions.
Arsenal vs Lincoln City
Even though this game invokes talk about FA Cup romance, it is likely to be a comfortable outing for Arsenal, as per football betting. The gunners could not have wished for a better opponent while they struggle for form.
Playing at the Emirates stadium is also a further incentive for the club to comfortably secure a spot in the semi-finals. Football predictions expect Lincoln City to see this game as a huge payday rather than an opportunity to reach the semi-final. The club will still focus on doing well in the National League, where they lead by three points.
Tottenham vs Millwall
Another match which invokes talk about FA Cup romance, but Millwall will be determined to make an impression at the match. Free football betting tips expect this London derby to be fiercely contested. Millwall would have liked to have taken on Tottenham at home, as White Hart Lane is a fortress for the Premier League outfit. Millwall are unbeaten in all competitions since the middle of December. Hence, the League One outfit are expected to come into the game with reasonable confidence.
Chelsea vs Manchester United
Clearly, this is a standout fixture of the football betting predictions for the FA Cup quarter-finals. Chelsea come into the game with splendid form just like Manchester United. However, the crucial aspect could be the potential absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic due to suspension. This could alter football betting odds in favour of Chelsea quite significantly.
Quarter Finals Dates and Key Details
A total of eight clubs will be involved in the quarter finals (also known as the sixth round). All are winners of the fifth round. The draw was held on the 19th of February, 2017, at Ewood Park, which is the home of Blackburn Rovers.
