With one EFL Cup competition done and dusted, we turn our attention towards the FA Cup as we dive into the fifth round of this historic cup competition. Join us as we round up another round in the FA Cup with the best FA Cup betting options.
Middlesbrough vs Tottenham
Form across all competitions: L – W – L -W – D vs W – L – W – L – L
Middlesbrough knocked out Manchester United in the fourth round, which now gives them the opportunity to play against Tottenham Hotspur and the chance to eliminate another top-tier club. Chris Wilder has made a great impact with his tactical change up, leading his side to push towards the play-off spots in the Championship. In their previous 13 meetings, Middlesbrough has only won once which was on the opening day of the 2008-09 Premier League season.
Tottenham had a rocky spell – losing four games in their last six games. Consequently, manager Antonio Conte even questioned his methods and his ability to have a positive impact on his squad. Despite their latest win against a struggling Leeds, doubts still remain on the quality of players in and around the team to get Tottenham anywhere near a title.
Middlesbrough who are priced at 4/1 (5.00) to win, face favourites Tottenham at 5/7 (1.72).
Harry Kane to score anytime during the match is priced at 49/50 (1.98).
Everton vs Boreham Wood
Form across all competitions: L – L – W – L – W vs W – D – L – W – L
Frank Lampard’s side finds themselves flirting with the possibility of being relegated despite having a great squad and a good coach. In their last outing in the Premier League, they faced league leader Manchester City where they narrowly lost 1-0. During the game, they showed great shape defensively and offered some threat going forward.
Facing the Toffees on Thursday is Boreham Wood who is currently third in the National League. The Wood impressively knocked out Bournemouth to find themselves travelling to Goodison Park with a chance to go toe-to-toe with England’s top teams, the beauty of the FA Cup.
At Goodison Park, Everton at 1/8 (1.13), line up against Boreham Wood, who are at 20/1 (21.00).
You can also get Everton to win to nil at 4/7 (1.57).
Nottingham Forest vs Huddersfield
Form across all competitions: W – D – D – W – W vs W – W – W – D – D
Nottingham Forest line up against Championship rivals Huddersfield as both teams have already met twice this year, with the away side claiming all three points. Forest manager, Steve Cooper, has transformed his team since taking over from Chris Hughton, who was only in charge of the team for the first seven games in which they only got one point, by a change in formation and allowing his team more freedom in how they go forward.
On the other hand, Huddersfield are 17 games unbeaten in all competitions and are looking to pile on the pressure for the top two spots to claim automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest at 49/50 (1.98), face championship rivals Huddersfield, who are priced at 29/10 (3.90).
Both teams to score in the match is also priced at 7/8 (1.88).
