Challenge Cup - Hibernian v Montrose

Scottish FA Cup 5th Round

***Hibernian Vs Montrose***

Its yet again another weekend where the bookies have tempted me to get involved in some big numbers with some juicy correct score betting, Hey over the years ive hit some big ones and had some very near misses, The way i look at it is for small stakes why not give some a go it simple a case of finding the right matches aint it!!??

Hibernian cant really grumble about the draws they have recieved in the Scottish FA Cup so far this season, In R.4 they were given a nice easy home tie against non league Irvine Meadow and won it more than comfortably 3-0 (2-0 at HT) And now in R.5 they again are at home and this time its against the lowest placed side left in the competition, Montrose (bottom of Div 3) It should be another comfortable win for Hibernian. Hibernian are in fine form this season and are still in with a great should of 2nd place in the SPL. 3 wins on the bounce in the league albeit the last 2 included 90th minute winning goals but even so there form is great, Just 2 defeats in 18 league matches. Hibernian have won 8 of 12 home matches this season and recently hit 5 past Hamilton.

Montrose have managed to get to the 5th Round of the FA Cup despite there dire League form, They have infact won more Cup matches that league games this season, Last weekend they recorded there first Div 3 win of the season with a 2-0 win over Berwick Rangers, that ended a run of 18 league games without a win.

Ive trawled through a few betting sites to try and get some other peoples views on this match and opinion is divided, So think that odds of under 1.80 for Hibernian to win with -2 in the handicap is a bit much to ask without real value and other feel Hibernian will rack up a cricket score, Personally i think a cricket score could be on the cards against a poor part time outfit, It really all comes down to just how strong a side Hibernian decide to put out, Against Irvine Meadow they put a strong side so there is little to suggest they wont do they same again tomorrow, Of course once the game is in the bag there is the danger they will take there feet of the gas a little.

I always like to put in a safety net with these sort of bets and im more that happy to take Hibernian to make the -2 handicap at the very least (1.72 with Bet365) I dont see any reason why Hibernian won win this 3-0 or above.

If the handicap comes in it returns a profit of 4.32 so with placing 4 pts on some juicy correct scores we will hopefully get at the very least a tiny profit out of this bet. Although its priced as a 10/10 bet it is anything but that, So if anyone is to get involved i would suggest a small fun bet, However i will be including Hibernian -2 in some of my Accers this weekend.

Pick : Hibernian to win -2 handicap
Odds : 1.72
Stake : 10 / 10
Bookmaker : Bet365
Match Result : 5-1
