FA Cup Betting - Leeds vs Tottenham Preview

FA Cup - Leeds v Tottenham

A penalty deep into Injury time gave Leeds this replay today against Spurs and they are at home which should be good for them…

Leeds could do something amazing today and not only advance to the next round of the FA Cup but should they win and advance they will of done so by beating two of the Premierships best sides with them already beating Manchester United in the last round before this one, Leeds might have been down at half time in that last match but the second half showed just how much fight this side has and they never gave up and that resulted in them earning the chance for a replay, Since then Leeds lost the following game 3-0 to Swindon in League 1 but backed that up in beating Colchester 2-0 getting back to winning and their Goal scoring ways, Leeds have scored only 4 goals in their last 3 matches including the match with Spurs while allowing 5 and in their last 5 home matches they have not failed to score in any of them racking up 8 Goals to the good and 4 against, Personal wise and things have gotten even better for them with a couple of good signings, but neither player can lace up their boots today and so the players in the side will want to make an impression as to not lose their starting places within the side, Other team news and Captain Naylor is back which is sure to boost the side.

Spurs had the Blues in their last match but lucky for us on the draw that they again let things slip, conceding late to give us a win, Interesting to note that Spurs have been doing that this season and the Blues late goal was almost at exactly the same time when Leeds scored their penalty to allow this match today, but at least Spurs can take heart from the fact that they are at least scoring Goals again which was a problem only a short time ago, they have now scored 5 in their last 3 matches but have won only one of those most recent fixture and that was 2 games ago at home in a 2-0 win over Fulham, they have also allowed 3 Goals in those last 3 matches also, Spurs last 5 away matches have seen them score 5 Goals but only 1 in their last 3 while conceding 5, Personal wise and Keane is gone to Celtic but Kaboul and Gudjohnsen have both come into the side, also both Bassong and Kranjcar are both fit and ready to play should they be named.

Leeds have earned this replay and will be up for the Challenge that confronts them today, scoring goals at home has not be a problem for them and to be honest Leeds I reckon are in the better place to advance here even though playing a Spurs side with a lot of talent on their books, Leeds have already beaten United and are back to winning after winning their last match while Spurs just cannot seem to grab a lead and hold onto it, especially away from home, Spurs away form should be a real cause for concern for them and they will need to fix that today if they are indeed to win and advance, I have my doubts about that and I do think that Leeds might just freak us out and win this game in 90 mins 2-1 , but forget that and look for over 2.5 instead….Good Luck.
