Man City v Stoke Odds Strongly Suggest Home Win

Manchester City, currently second favourites behind Chelsea to win the FA Cup take on Stoke City this weekend in what looks likely to be a very tough fifth round tie, particularly as Stoke have yet to be beaten so far in any competition in 2010. Notwithstanding, it is Man City who have been made 1/2 odds on favourites by Bet365, while Stoke are given, what we think are very generous odds of 6/1 to win through to the Quarter Final themselves. The draw also has some attraction at 3/1.

Comprehensive 2010 FA Cup Betting.

The two sides last met on Boxing Day in a match that Man City dominated and won by 2-0, with goals from Petrov and the inevitable, Carlos Tevez, but since then they have lost three times in ten games and have been accused of lacking 100% commitment. Whilst there may be some truth in the fact that some Man City players do not appear to be putting it all in, that cannot be said about Tevez, because love him or hate him, he is one player that simply does not stop trying and his goal scoring record at The Emirates is nothing short of sensational. It is why we would not hesitate to back him to score the opening goal in this match with odds of 4/1 available from Bet365

On paper this should be a win for the home team, they have all the advantages, including a vociferous home crowd that are screaming out for success. They know victory would put them in with a real shout to win the Cup outright; it is just a case of playing with the right attitude. That said, we think Stoke, if nothing else are a team of fighters and are playing well enough to upset any team in the Premier League, in the same way as they did to Arsenal in the last round. We therefore take Stoke to earn themselves a replay from this match and believe a score of either 1-1 or 2-2 will be the Correct Scores to back.
