FULHAM VS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FA CUP LIVE BETTING TIPS
We're just a few minutes away from kick-off in a very juicy Premier League fixture. There are some very good prices all around in this match with the bookmakers clearly not seeing too much between the two teams. You'll find the host side Fulham trading at a 3.0 listing while Spurs are considered the favourite at 2.37. The draw pays 3.25 and that may prove to be a wise choice for some punters.

In terms of outright qualification to the semi-final round, Spurs trade at an odds-on price of 1.53 while Fulham can be backed at 2.37. I think extra time is a real possibility in this fixture and choosing the "to qualify" market may be worth it, especially if you're backing the Cottagers.
This theory is backed up by the fact that the shortest correct score odds are on a 1-1 draw, which trades at a 6.5 price. Spurs are listed at 8.0 to win 1-0 while Fulham can be backed at the same price. However, Spurs are given the edge if the match finishes 2-0 as they are listed at 9.0 while Fulham's price for the same margin is 12.0. 2-1 to Fulham rewards at 11.0 while 2-1 to Spurs is available at an 8.0 price.
If you fancy a half-time draw and extra-time, you can get a 5.0 price on that in the half-time/full-time market.
Jermaine Defoe is the favourite to score in this game with a 2.25 price while in-form Roman Pavlyuchenko can be backed at a solid 2.62. He's been banging them in lately and could be a solid tip. Bobby Zamora has also found the net on a regular basis lately and he'll be listed at around 2.75.
Peter Crouch had a dynamite match against Egypt in mid-week and he'll be looking to build on that today. You'll find Crouchy at 3.25. Keep your eyes on Gareth Bale, who trades at 6.0 to score any time. He'll be taking some free-kicks today and I could see a set-piece being the difference in this match.
I think this one is going to be fairly close and will likely favour the in-play punters. Spurs are justifiable favourites, but I think a solid Bobby Zamora performance could put Spurs on the back-heel. I do think extra-time is a distinct possibility.
