Stevenage v Spurs betting

Stevenage are competing in the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time in their history. Last season they caused an upset by beating Newcastle. Can they cause one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history, or will Spurs be too much for the League One side to handle?

Stevenage: Last 5 Games – WDWWW

Stevenage go into the game under a great run of form. They have lost just one game in 2012 and are looking at the possibility of a third promotion in succession. During their FA Cup run, they have not conceded a goal. Bet365 are offering 8/1 for Stevenage to keep a clean sheet in this difficult match.

Chris Beardsley is Stevenage’s top scorer with 9 goals this season. Bet365 are offering the best odds for the striker to score anytime at 4/1.

Stevenage have lost just 3 of their home games in the league this season. They are the clear underdogs but the FA Cup still produces some magical moments at the latter stages. Remember Wycombe’s Quarter Final victory over Leicester in 2001? For a Stevenage victory, you can get odds of 9/1 from Ladbrokes and Skybet.

Tottenham are having a glorious season and will be looking to avoid an upset as they aim to claim some silverware this season. Like Stevenage, Spurs have not conceded a goal in the competition following victories over Cheltenham and Watford. Odds for an away clean sheet come at 4/5 from bet365.

Rafael van der Vaart scored the only goal in the 1-0 victory over Watford in the 4^th round. Odds for the attacking midfielder to score the first goal in Sunday’s match come at 5/1 from Coral.

Tottenham are the overwhelming favourites to win the match on Sunday. The best odds you can get for an away victory are 1/3 from Betfred.

Match Prediction: Tottenham to win 3-1 (11/1 Ladbrokes)

Tottenham should win this game especially if they show the same cutting edge they showed Newcastle last week. Stevenage may grab a goal, but it is unlikely that the League 1 team can provide a major upset.
