Spurs to make light work of Newport in FA Cup replay

Big night for the Exiles in London

Tottenham Hotspur host Newport County in an FA Cup fourth round replay this evening at Wembley.

Newport will no doubt have been devastated to concede that late equaliser in the original tie.

But maybe secretly they’re delighted they get another bite at the cherry – especially at the national stadium.

The Coral News Team can’t countenance Spurs losing this game. And that’s reflected in their odds of 1/12 to win, with the Exiles at a massive 40/1.

Banker Bet

However, Newport did give Mauricio Pochettino’s side a serious fright at Rodney Parade and will be well up for this replay.

It’s not every week the League Two side get to play at Wembley. But the Welsh outfit are not exactly in form, failing to win in four, and losing their last two games.

This, in reality, should be a question of how many for Spurs. The North London outfit are just 4/6 to win to nil, and that has to be the banker bet.

They have kept nine clean sheets in 19 fixtures in all competitions under the Arch this term.

Value Bets

The best value bet of the match is probably the 4/5 about Spurs winning on the -2 Handicap.

Pochettino’s side took a while but eventually swept aside AFC Wimbledon in the previous round 3-0. And the Dons are a tier above Newport.
